Do you agree America should reopen for business?

Seems highly premature to me.
On Thursday, 4591 people died over a 24 hour period in the US.
Why the rush to reopen?
Every Country is hurting but are not ready to take the monumental risk of spreading the disease which is still very active in many places.
Australia has virtually shut down, most businesses are going to be badly affected, many may close for good.
But we can see that a premature resumption could be catastrophic.
I sincerely hope that this desire to reopen does not open the Virus Pandora's Box and lead to a further surge of infections and death.
Stay safe everyone.

As long as everyone who wants to does it with eyes wide open, with no one being forced.

I would think that situations with densely concentrated crowds should wait ... like schools, crowded transportation hubs, etc.

With cheap gas now, airlines can probably start flying with spacing, like reduced passenger loads by 65%+, with everyone being 6'+ apart. Likewise for trains and busses.

Seperation for restaurant patients, likewise.

Restoring to what we thought of as normal will take time, lots of time.

Oh yes, and bring back night clubs and dancehalls. Dancing couples would have to be 6' apart, like it was at my high school.
