Helen - I wish there was a "like" button!
I think releasing too soon will have a worse effect on the economy than holding out until we are more confident that cases are declining. Here in MD cases are still increasing at a steady rate in spite of the restrictions - how bad would it be w/out them? Sure, some states w/ a low case count may be able to ease up - which is why it makes sense to let the local authorities decide what is best for each jurisdiction and hopefully they will use common sense, listen to the scientists and doctors, and put politics aside to do what is right. Frankly, even if restrictions are lifted here, I still plan to be cautious about where I go and who I come in contact with. Some of that may be out of my control - but when I can control it I will Donna |

I agree! Even when restrictions are lifted I'm not going to go to crowded places for a long, long time. I work in a restaurant and even when/if they re-open I'm not rushing back to be in that situation of interacting so closely with people and handling their plates and glasses. I'm in NJ so I really doubt anything will re-open anytime soon anyway.

I will never shake hands again.
Never liked it in the first place. Never mind the germ swapping, I can't tell how many times some "firm handshake" guy has mutilated my poor arthritic hand. I don't know how I'm going to handle going to see a show or eat in a restaurant again. |

The only thing I really can’t control is having to return to work on a regular basis eventually and the lack of prudence of some there. In my real life, I will continue to follow the guidelines, at least until there’s a vaccine or good treatment.

For anyone interested in making a homemade face shield, all you need is a baseball hat, some plastic report covers, and safety pins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvfv_QxqB8A
My son and I are going to make a few this weekend. I'll still wear my mask under it, but anything to keep me from touching my face is well worth at least trying. |

I think, at least in CA, that masks will be mandatory in public as part of the easing of restrictions. Not a big deal, if it'll help keep people safe and get things back to somewhat normal. |
