I don’t think so.
Blue states are moving faster toward re-opening now because Red states are blowing past them. Get enough “subjects” questioning the “kings” about why it’s safe for their neighboring state to be open and they’re not can lead to rebellion and make the kings look like the tyrants they are.
Plus the kings, who happen to also be idiots, are waking up to the fact that they need businesses and workers to pay state taxes.
Furthermore, too many people are waking up to the fact that this economic apocalypse didn’t have to happen. They’re seeing that they listened to the wrong people. And they won’t be locked down again for this virus.
The reopening in red states will be different from the blue states. What this article describes is likely to happen only in blue states. The successful states will stick it out as the pandemic runs its course. Over time the red states, like Sweden, will develop herd immunity earlier and become more financially strong while the blues states will lose populations and become weaker. I can see location quarantines and lockdowns in all states but no more broad lockdowns in any one red state.
We relinquished our rights cheaply in the name of a phony panic and now we see how hard it is to get them back. Perhaps the Depression level unemployment and the thousands of closed small businesses will be remembered when people go to the pols in November. However now even our right to free and fair elections is being challenged with a push for voting by mail. This tactic would make elections a sham with votes being manufactured by party hacks to produce pre ordained results. How quickly we could become a banana republic Is frightening.
Part of the plan includes cancelling the presidential debate, so Trump won’t get to say to biden: “Good evening, Joe, do you know where you are?”
We need to have a presidential debate!

Perhaps its a Democrat ploy to relocate their voters to Red states to steal the election.

Periodic tyranny is nothing new to most married men. For the first 30 or so years, anyway.
