The violation of anyone's Rights is illegal.
If the PPE provides protection then not opening things up is ignorant, because someone NOT using PPE doesn't have any effect on those who wear PPE.
NO government makes money as they are not a producer. The money they spend is collected from the citizens in the form of taxes, so getting $$$ from the government is truly robbing Peter to pay Paul and the economic follow on is very easy to get past the tipping point.
Wear PPE and practice social distancing and it doesn't interfere with anyone's Inalienable Rights but if you flip that theory and force people to stay out of work, lose their homes, lose their jobs or retirement then the people who want this must believe that the Constitution can be arbitrarily changed based on whomever is in power.
Remember that a law is used to punish people for breaking the rules NOT to stop them from breaking the rules.
Freedom isn't something that is passed down from generation to generation. Freedom is only as strong as those willing to fight and/or die safeguarding and nurturing it.

The guidelines are voluntary and temporary. The constitution is intact. The gov. has communicated to all Americans what can easily happen if we don't follow them voluntarily. It has been explained they are for the protection of each of us and equally important, doing our part to protect others. Why aren't those following the guidelines the ones fighting to protect our rights?
The fed is sending every American funds to help us. Changes have been made to unemployment so that more are covered. There is a program to help small businesses. Part of the small business program is that there are to bring back employees laid off and pay them. Not saying the programs will make anyone whole but is is some compensation. Aren't you going to get a check? Don't you qualify for any of the programs?
Part of the reason for laws is to protect our rights from being infringed upon but equally important, a deterrent because of the consequents if the law is broken.
If the the guidelines were mandatory and if one didn't follow them they were no longer eligible for any compensation would that made a difference?
When there is a voluntary program to save our lives that the majority of Americans are voluntarily following in spite of the difficulties how can they be the ones that are not protecting, safeguarding and nurturing freedom?
