The entire state of Georgia already did that, 2 weeks ago.
How often does the wheel have to be re-invented before we accept that it may work properly?
And that's great news!
Think about the political situation of the governors--it costs them nothing to be over-cautious, not risking blame for contagion--so, it's going to be public initiative that is going to decide the matter.
Most of the less densely populated parts of the country are probably good to go, but their governors are afraid. People will open up, and the governors will have to let them, or lose their offices if they are too harsh. And, that's a good thing.
That said, I don't think NYC is ready to open up at the moment. But, maybe with population wide testing to figure out how many people have been exposed, it soon will be. I think 2 to 3 weeks.
Now, Illinois is another story. You've got a power-mad Governor Pritzker, and a densely populated Chicago, with the balance of the state probably ready right now.
The ramp up is going to come from below, not above.
“2 weeks ago.”
Is this the current 2 weeks from now? Or the one from 8 weeks ago? Or was it last weeks?
