Watching rerun n reading old books

why doesnt the govt allow bookshops to reopen during the covid lockdown.im running out of new books to read and at time when mental health is important,books are a form of escape from reality of doom n gloom.they allow food for body but no nourishment for the mind when mind body health is holistic n interlinked.book excess,popular n borders are all closed so im rereading old novels from my library.old is gold.
