(Not an expert, just giving opinion)

That really is factually true. You worded it perfectly there to.

Yes, I understand other places like grocery stores are in the same predicament now, but at the time, everything was still "normal". If that reason isn't sufficient, that's fine; doesn't really hurt to apply.

I understand that you came her looking for people to rally around you and say "YES YOU CAN", and that's not the case. I think what you need to keep in mind is that your interpretation or perspective really is immaterial to the issue - it's just a matter of law.

Here's section 2102 of the Cares act, which expands unemployment compensation through the implementation of PUA

(3) COVERED INDIVIDUAL.—The term “covered individual”—

(A) means an individual who—

(i) is not eligible for regular compensation or extended benefits under State or Federal law or pandemic emergency unemployment compensation under section 2107, including an individual who has exhausted all rights to regular unemployment or extended benefits under State or Federal law or pandemic emergency unemployment compensation under section 2107; and

(ii) provides self-certification that the individual—

(I) is otherwise able to work and available for work within the meaning of applicable State law, except the individual is unemployed, partially unemployed, or unable or unavailable to work because—

(aa) the individual has been diagnosed with COVID–19 or is experiencing symptoms of COVID–19 and seeking a medical diagnosis;

(bb) a member of the individual's household has been diagnosed with COVID–19;

(cc) the individual is providing care for a family member or a member of the individual's household who has been diagnosed with COVID–19;

(dd) a child or other person in the household for which the individual has primary caregiving responsibility is unable to attend school or another facility that is closed as a direct result of the COVID–19 public health emergency and such school or facility care is required for the individual to work;

(ee) the individual is unable to reach the place of employment because of a quarantine imposed as a direct result of the COVID–19 public health emergency;

(ff) the individual is unable to reach the place of employment because the individual has been advised by a health care provider to self-quarantine due to concerns related to COVID–19;

(gg) the individual was scheduled to commence employment and does not have a job or is unable to reach the job as a direct result of the COVID–19 public health emergency;

(hh) the individual has become the breadwinner or major support for a household because the head of the household has died as a direct result of COVID–19;

(ii) the individual has to quit his or her job as a direct result of COVID–19;

(jj) the individual's place of employment is closed as a direct result of the COVID–19 public health emergency; or

(kk) the individual meets any additional criteria established by the Secretary for unemployment assistance under this section

So, you need to figure out what section qualifies you as fear is not a qualifying factor, and you quit prior to this being declared an emergency.

So, what steps did you take to mitigate the issue prior to quitting?
What notices did you provide to your employer?
What were their responses?
What exactly did you write on your application, or say to the adjudicating official?
