If we re-open too early we will lose all the pain and sacrifice, economic damage and disruption to our lives. More Americans will die that didn't have to. AND we will be right back to square one.
People are not going to cooperate anyway. They are not going to go back to restaurants, bars and travel like before. So your not even going to save the economy until people feel safe.
