Is everyone okay with opening up society so soon?

Germany eased restrictions and the infection rate increased 3 fold.
The US death rate has jumped above 1500 cases a day, again.
House viewings are to resume in England.
I think it is way too early to open. but I am not doing it tough and only have cost of living expenses. No Bills.
So for those who have Family, Mortgages, and other bills to pay I can see the reasoning of opening up society, I hope that there is not a catastrophic infection rate increase as a result.

Difficult balancing act for the various Governments to decide, damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of thing. There are no winners here, only losers, open up too soon and lots of people die, stay shut down for too long and people start dying from starvation in certain places and conditions. It's going to have to be a different world for all if we hope to survive. Testing is pretty pointless really until a vaccine is developed that works, you could test negative today and be infected tomorrow...
