Even WITH the guidelines in place, there are still a LOT of people out running around, not wearing masks, not distancing. People are already acting reckless. Lots of reasons why, and that's for another thread.
We saw yesterday in Florida thousands on the beach in JAX within 30 minutes of the order being lifted.
I'd be shocked if people don't take advantage of the situation when the opportunity presents itself. Give an inch, they'll take a mile. Then we're right back to February, and the late March/early April is really gonna suck this time.
As if 37k dead didn't suck enough.

That's because people are lying to themselves to feel better. That's harsh but probably true. We have pretty much shut down the country and some areas are actually doing a good job, and we're still going to have a million cases that we know about, and tens of thousands of deaths.
The real issue is that people are able to use this virus to blame the economy. When things re-open we aren't going to have that excuse, and it's going to be a bad situation when the economy stays in the tank because life actually doesn't go back to normal. And then you'll see businesses shutting down like that pork plant because people are spreading it around. That's going to be horrible for the economy.
There is no middle ground. The economy will be fine when people can go about their lives without the fear of catching this thing.
