Yes, people are going back out. They were ALWAYS going to go back out. Which was why a staggered and measured approach was always preferable in areas where it was feasible.
So, y'know, 80% of the country.
The heavy-handed and poorly-tailored response to this will create significant problems as we progress. And the public response will be less and less robust. And in the end, we'll be as bad or worse off for it and over a much longer timeline.

We'll see. As we've gotten more info, i'm hopeful that it won't be.
I just got off the phone with a buddy that i went to dental school with who's been in an oral surgery residency (seriously 6 more years after we graduated dental school in 14, so he did 4 of college, 4 of dental school, 6 more of an oral surgery residency that has included basically med school, **** that noise) who's currently in Dallas at the hospital they took JFK to. He's had some interactions with this stuff. He had a co resident get it and has been in ICU but is out now improving.
He's tight with one of the big infectious disease doc's at the hospital. He thinks we're getting new info that there are some things with this we just didn't know before that will be helpful. He couldn't really go into any more on that, but maybe I'll hear later.
