This is fucking why. Reopening takes many steps. The first step is to get the numbers of new cases down to a manageable level. The United States has failed in that first step. So every other step that Europe has done is fucking useless here. And yeah, that includes New York and other northern states. Y’all did great, but until you shut your borders to the rest of the country, you are just as fucked as the rest of us are.
The United States is not going to reopen. The schools are not going to reopen. The universities and colleges are not going to reopen. Businesses are not going to reopen. We failed. We need to start over with 3 months of lock-down. And after that, if we are smart, we might be able to reopen like Europe.
