or maybe since the deaths keep going down we will all realize it is not really that horrible and go back to our lives.

No worse than watching CNN.

I know I am keeping a common sense approach to expectations and not acting entitled for bad reasons. It’s clearly a bad idea to bring back large crowds at the squares with no distancing possible.

Because most of us are not believing the media and scared hiding in our homes. We need to get back to life. This stuff is just not as bad as advertised

Not sure where you get your "most of us" statistic. "Not as bad as advertised" ? Tell that to the families of the 120,000+ who have died in 4 months, and no, it's not nearly the "same as the flu." So far almost twice or more as deadly in 1/3 the time. I guess that talking point has disappeared recently.

Do you also think stuffing 20,000 people into a building is OK?

HUH? Where? There was 100,000 in the first ~120 days and 20,000 in the last ~16 days. Seems like a lot HIGHER rate. LOL, and no, that has nothing to do with the higher number of tests.

The squares aren’t that crowded in the summer. There is room for social distancing. It is safer outdoors than indoors. The farmers market and Walmart are just as crowded or more crowded. Singing can project virus. Maybe test singers before shows or keep ample distance.

My wife was at the market this morning, lots of spacing between vendors, masks worm by most there and social distancing being practiced so not sure where you get the farmers market was more crowded than the entertainment at the squares. There will be no safe time to reopen, it will be dependent on how soon those that make the decision bow to the pressure of the those that think they will be fine, are the armchair and internet educated medical experts and are tired of being inconvienenced.
