Re opening is a crazy idea...

... Unless you have proper testing. The virus is still at large and there is a decline in new casrs BECAUSE of the lockdown. This doesnt prove the lockdown is unnecessary but that it is necessary. If you open up, you need to be able to isolate and control the virus or its Groundhog Day for the black death.

Yes, proper testing. The model I am familiar with, projects 20 Million tests, per day, are needed in the US, before we can "safely" re-open the country.

Locally we're probably going to see an example of how that works, when Washington State starts to re-open, on May 3rd (projected), with Amazon and Microsoft putting into place testing plans. I really can't erase that Gattaca image from my head.
