I believe that L.P. took that into consideration when she provided the date she did. Best I can tell, most states are opening up well before reaching the guidelines provided by the Govt. experts, like Dr. Fauci, but clearly not before the President wanted.

As for experts, you can find experts who'll say practically anything, like man has no influence on climate change, it's just that for each one you find, there are 99 or more who were educated in schools every bit as good as the one who will say otherwise.

China is where this all started, I don't believe all their numbers, but it's pretty clear that when they got serious about it they brought the curve down very quickly. Their population is many times ours, yet we have more who've been infected and probably more who've passed away.

I've really hardly been out of the house, but my daughter has, and down in Venice it was clear that people weren't either maintaining proper distancing, nor were most wearing masks. California to date has maintained a reasonable balance, I just hope we're not opening up too soon. No doubt the cost of staying closed is a drag on the economy, but if we're forced to shut down again it will be far worse.

What's rather interesting is that for the most part the Blue States traditionally pay more into the Federal Govt than they receive, while the Red States generally pull more out. Certainly part of the problem is the greater density population is generally in the Blue States, making them a greater problem in a pandemic, but regardless, to some degree all the States need funding or essential services will be terminated or greatly reduced. A Govt. that can put billions into the hands of what previously were some of the wealthiest corporations in the world must also put billions into the States that are commensurate with the losses they're suffering.

I wish that this wasn't the case, but it is, and the only way the economy will come back to what it was before is Govt. funding to put all sorts of people back in business.
