States are absolutely opening too soon. My state wants to start a very controlled first wave opening on May 20th. Lots of restrictions, and not all businesses. I just don't see the point.
On a Zoom chat last night my mother-in-law said she was contacted by her nail technician that she would be back in business May 20th and my MIL was excited to make her appointment - until we informed her that the Gov had already changed his mind and declared that nail salons were not going to be part of the first wave. She was disappointed. SMDH.
I agree with
@Amity that, while some people (like me) will be in no hurry and no frame of mind to want to venture out into public places all willy-nilly, there will be those who think everything is now fine, or who don't care if everything is fine, and will elbow their way through the restrictions to go back to their "normal" lives. And I just don't think the results are going to be worth it. Believe me, I hope I'm wrong.
