I for one don't want to tempt fate. Who knows for sure that opening the country back up is safe? If "they" want to open the country back up to save the economy, I can see their reasoning. I am a cancer survivor and feel that if I contracted this disease, I would not survive. My husband feels the same way about himself because of his age. We are fortunate to be able to shelter in place, have enough contact with family and friends through digital means, have actually an interesting life at home and WILL NOT take the chance of catching this on its rebound if there is one.

I don't care what the numbers say or how anyone wants to interpret them. I understand why people are desperate to open the economy back up. I feel blessed that it doesn't have to affect me, and I pray/cross my fingers/cast spells that it won't have a disastrous effect on the general public. I guess we all have to make our own decisions after things open back up.
