No LA, that’s absurd.


Movie theatres aren’t open because there are no new movies being released to theatres. Restaurants are struggling in every state because significant number of people won’t go to them because of virus concerns. Florida’s governor may want to allow 80,000 people in football stadiums, but the leagues won’t allow it. Shutdowns around the country in the first place were imposed on govt by the NBA, the NCAA, and the public generally - govts caught up to them rather than imposing them.

You can say all this is irrational fear because of blue govt’s, which is politically expedient, but of course it is consistent with guidance from all public healthcare pros.

The way to get these things back to normal is to control the spread such that almost all Americans are confident of their safety. That could just be consistently low numbers because people go about their business wearing masks and keeping their distance - better pandemic mgmt than we saw in the US could have helped.

But a vaccine that works and has been almost universally taken by the public is the best way to get back to normal. It’s not a blue or red thing.
