Back to square one.

Another possibility: enough people will be too fearful of being a victim of a new spike, and refrain from patronizing all these places that re-open, that these places end up closing for good due to lack of revenue.
Imagine Kilwen's re-opening day. Now ask yourself if you want to be one of those people there that day.
If not that day - how about the next day. Surely a week later, everyone who was in a rush will already have come and gone, right? But - everyone who THOUGHT that will be lining up a week later. Do you want to be in THAT line?
So you wait to see if there's a spike. That means you'll need to wait around another month. The last spike in Florida was 4/23, according to
Experience.
So on May 23, if there hasn't been a spike since 2 days ago, the coast should be clear. But if there's another spike next week, you have to reset and count a month from then.
I would LOVE to go back to Kilwen's. But I already take a huge risk every single time I go to work. I don't know if I want to add *un-necessary* huge risks. Smaller ones like standing near someone at the postal station while we both get our mail, no problem. Shooting at the archery range, where you can only have 1-2 people every 6 feet because you can't share a target with more than that, not a problem at all. But standing in a crowded line, with no more 6-foot limits, in an enclosed space, where people are ordering, and paying for food, and changing their minds, and pointing out ice cream flavors to the server...cris-crossing and bumping against each other on their way from one end of the counter to the other? Not sure I want to risk death, no matter how much I like their ice cream.
