Data. If you look at the data objectively, then a lot of states should reopen. Obviously cities with large population densities need to take different actions.

I agree. So who are these liberals holding you back? Most of the states with low numbers have republican governors.

A difference of minor degree, and certainly not indicative of the difference between "socialist" and "not socialist".

Please, do continue. To which data do you refer? If you need to link to some epidemiologists (in fact, that would be preferable), by all means do so.
 
Stores in Georgia are showing ridiculously low levels of business. So if they open but no one shops, won’t that only exacerbate the economic problem? Won’t opening up to such low levels levels of business speed up their bankruptcies?

I think some people think that we’d be packing the malls and theaters if given an opportunity. I think a lot of people are going to avoid these places for a long time. Maybe even until a vaccine is developed. Even if the NBA restarted the season today and the jazz were giving away lower bowl seats, I wouldn’t attend for risk of getting sick.

Yikes. The human toll is just unbelievable. But the psychological toll this is going to exact will take a long time to recover from. If/when we hit 3,000+ deaths per day and 200,000 deaths total, I think states will find it even harder to jumpstart the economy. Who wants to go shopping and end up dead?

Once again, the virus is the main issue and it needs to be addressed through through testing and tracing.

It WOULD NOT make sense to send them back in protest after having paid for them. You're making a fat crayon argument. It's a bad look.

I questioned @magic making the assertion that Democrats want a socialist society. They have not yet responded. I'm waiting for their response so that I'm making arguments based on what they actually say and believe.

Making a very very simple minded and very stupid argument based on not taking a stimulus payment is basic facebook level political thought. Be better.

If they had absolutely no idea how to balance their supply side with the actual demand, then yes.

I would imagine that it will be very difficult to determine actual demand for awhile.

exactly. I’m not sure if anyone knows how business will be for a while. But they may feel compelled to be open as some of their competitors might open up. Sure, if business is poor, they might all decide to stay closed. But until then, how many businesses are going to lose money by having the lights on and having employees come in to sit around?

just because your governor decides to open up, doesn’t mean consumers will want to come in and spend.

Anecdotal but a majority of restaurant lobbies are back open, but drive through lines are still way way longer than they used to be. People are afraid to go in again.
 
I've found it funny that movie theaters can open back up, but with no new releases, seems like there's not an audience there.
