No one is required to eat out at restaurants or go to bars and nightclubs. The virus being under control, has always been about not overrunning hospitals (flattening the curve) and protecting those most vulnerable. Provided those things are being accomplished, and they are, there is no reason to keep parts of the States economy shut down. People need jobs to pay their bills. @Dean, No one has directed people to stop washing their hands, wearing a mask, or social distancing.

Unfortunately we have a governor that takes his marching orders from the unhinged man in the Oval Office so we can expect to see the same rise as we saw during the last “reopening.” When the bars and restaurants go back to normal, with no social distancing, no masks, etc. then the virus that doesn’t have a political leaning one way or the other will soar back. It hasn’t gone away, nobody has wished it away, and the only truth we know is that the low positives we see right now are and have been a result of those 3 things that we know work....hand washing, masks and social distancing. Take those away as DeSanttis is promoting and directing and you again ask for tital failure to keep the virus under control. If we kept doing what we’re doing it would be even lower.
