Stafford made those statements in a series of posts to her Instagram story.
She goes on to say she recognizes the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic, saying if “you’re at risk, you shouldn’t leave your house until there’s a vaccine,” but her concern is how the shutdown will impact small businesses.
Stafford continues by saying she realizes not everyone will agree with what she has to say, but that is life, and it’s her opinion.
“I do not like living in a place where they tell me what I can, and cannot do, I live once,” she said.
