Slovakia, Hungary, Greece, Poland, heck even Portugal, went n strict masks in public and strict social distnacing for 6 weeks. After that they opened and the economies are back to roaring AND their death rates are 100/million or lower (as compared to the USA’s 500/million).

So you want to open the economy, then wear the masks and care about your fellow man for 6 weeks.

or, ooh, ooh - Israel! only 67 deaths/million.

Beginning on 11 March, Israel began enforcing social distancing and other rules to limit the spread of infection. Gatherings were first restricted to no more than 100 people,[5] and on 15 March this figure was lowered to 10 people, with attendees advised to keep a distance of 2 m (6 ft 7 in) between one another.[6] On 19 March, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a national state of emergency, saying that existing restrictions would henceforth be legally enforceable, and violators would be fined. Israelis were not allowed to leave their homes unless absolutely necessary. Essential services—including food stores, pharmacies, and banks—would remain open. Restrictions on movement were further tightened on 25 March and 1 April, with all individuals instructed to cover their noses and mouths outdoors. As coronavirus diagnoses spiked in the city of Bnei Brak, reaching nearly 1,000 infected individuals at the beginning of April,[7] the cabinet voted to declare the city a "restricted zone", limiting entry and exit for a period of one week. Coinciding with the Passover Seder on the night of 8 April, lawmakers ordered a 3-day travel ban and mandated that Israelis stay within 100 m (330 ft) of their home on the night of the Seder. On 12 April, Haredi neighborhoods in Jerusalem were placed under closure.

On 4 May 2020, Prime Minister Netanyahu outlined a gradual easing of lockdown restrictions, approved by the government

by 3 to 10 May things started opening up again

I could actually get onboard with that idea IF Trump would come right out and set an expiration date six weeks hence.

Absolutely NO ONE has mentioned that however, and the entire history of this thing has been one of constantly moving goalposts.

So until Trump sets a drop-dead date on masks I shall continue to resist.
