When I look back at April, the biggest death traps were actually the Seniors/Retirement Homes.
Once a lot of restaurants and grocery stores began to put up plastic shields and enforce 6 feet of distance, the cases began to drop.
Big crowds should be avoided but that's common sense. Closing down everything right now doesn't actually make me feel any safer.

Lockdown is extended a couple weeks here, I believe.

Most of them are in New York City though.With 30,000 new cases a day while in lockdown, what could go wrong?
but honestly if we remain judicious and quarantine the olds I think we will be ok
Why punish states that are less than that?

I heard casinos are not opening for another month or two now after Sisolak announced extending the lockdown.

They extended lockdown here in Vegas.
Casinos were going to open tomorrow but Sisolak extending shit means casinos are shutdown until at least June.

Which I did.
Alberta, Canada begins to reopen this month as well as Texas, USA.
Other places are also expected to follow suit.

So one state and one province are reopening with a few more expected to. Why not state that in your original post? Why bias everyone’s response from the start by not revealing the scale of the reopening?

Your expectation must bet set to some places being closed forever.
I'm saying, that's not the case and this is the month we are seeing restrictions being lifted on a provincial/state level and ultimately, a federal one.
And the list is getting bigger:
Province-by-province breakdown of what you can actually do now that COVID-19 restrictions are lifting
Find out how your province is emerging from a COVID-19 lockdown, and whether you can golf, eat at a restaurant or send your kids to school
nationalpost.com
These Are the States Opening Back Up for Business
Americans in many of states can now get a haircut, go to the gym, or sit down at a restaurant, though restrictions are still in place.

I just want places to stay closed an appropriate amount of time so no more areas turn into hot zones. It’s a very contagious virus and there are still a lot of people walking around who don’t even have enough sense to wear masks.Your expectation must bet set to some places being closed forever.

If you read the plans for each state/province, they already discuss this.
They're not throwing away all safety protocols for this. Everything is being done in waves. For example,

For me, life in Ontario really hasn't felt that much different aside from no sports on TV. My wife and I still go to work, my son still going to his at home day care. If I need something Walmart is still open and most stores offer curbside pickup. The only real change has been not going to restaurants, which has been a good thing financially because we eat out too much, and my basketball season being cancelled. We still go out almost everyday for family walks.

I'm kind of split on this. I'm worried it will cause a new surge and keep things locked down even longer in larger areas. I know my son's school like many is cancelled the rest of the school year, and I'm on telework at least through May. Lockdown is set up through the middle of this month here in DC. I'd like things to open back up but not so early it causes a second wave.
On the other hand, even as I drive around to get my to-go food orders and curbside pickups, I see tons of people in DC parks and trails with no social distancing and no masks, and I'm wondering if it is even worth it to try at this point. Even those around that are wearing masks by law in places that are open, half of them don't even cover their nose.

My job is maintaining our work-from-home until May 31st at the earliest return date.
I think certain businesses should try to reopen if they can do so safely and without stressing the infrastructure. In some areas with very low number of cases, this means they can reopen the whole city or the whole state. Wuhan flu doesn't affect every part of the world equally.

Retail has been mostly dead here for years. Really the only thing that's actually changed is going out to eat and going to the gym. And the going out to eat thing isn't that different since they all deliver now.
The gyms probably wont open for another month so nothing really changes for me today.

Unless you block travel from places like that; it'll spread. There's people who will slip through the cracks too. Thats the worst situation; a slow-boil rise in cases leading to a spike.

All that really opened today are parks in AB. Tomorrow golf courses and on Monday dentists and elective surgeries. Nothing else until May 14, and only if this all goes well.

Gyms and parks are really the only thing I personally miss being able to go.

Were still a few days away, and in my city we are planning to open up about 2 weeks after the rest of the province. I think it will get extended but we will see.
We did a revision on our deaths, and back dated them so this is what we look like
CHLSD + RPA = old age homes.
The deaths in our general population has been decreasing lately and was not that bad overall. In the old age homes though DISASTER.
Just as an example on tracking sites we had 79 deaths, but after putting the proper date on the deaths we drop down to just above 20.

New York Times has a nice ongoing page to track US states reopening.

My county reopened today, with certain restrictions: generally, 50% max capacity.

Much of the country has fully reopened after a year defined by patchwork coronavirus restrictions.

My state is opening a bit, but it wasn’t very closed to begin with. They issued a mandatory stay at home order, but it wasn’t enforced as far as I know. Either way, some businesses closed, others took precautions. I don’t see my family changing anything next week compared to last week anyway.

Illinois is shut down for another month. I'm good with staying home.

I hope to god the dining areas of restaurants and fast food places stay closed. Those are hotbeds of potential carriers and capable of an explosion of infections.

The stores I saw opening up are only doing take-out orders. They flipped the chairs upside down so you can't physically sit down or use the dining area.
It's probably going to be like this for a while until restrictions are lifted on group gatherings.

for me, I just don’t care. I’ll just cook or eat whatever.
I don’t give a shit about take out from restaurants I like.
Going to restaurants and bars was fun! Whether lunch, dinner, or bottomless mimosas for brunch. Getting a random takeout order. Nah....

I never stopped working and have been enjoying the extra 3 hours or so I get back each week from not sitting in traffic.
I am looking forward to gyms reopening and being able to socialize once again soon.
Also I need clothes stores to open ASAP so I can buy some new clothes as after weeks with lack of gym time and comfort/boredom eating I am busting out of my current clothes.

Unfortunately here in São Paulo half of the motherfuckers who live here are not respecting the quarantine so it looks like it's going to be a long while before things get to normal. It was scheduled to get back at May 11 but it has been postponed because idiots are running around everywhere. I'm pissed off.

Every reopening plan I’ve seen has gyms at the final stage, alongside sporting events or concerts. I wouldn’t anticipate going to one very soon. (They are talking a Dec - Feb of next year where I am)

So many restaurants run at thin margins and require turning all tables at least twice a night to run.
I imagine it means Managers having to plan better for half capacity on ordering and staff.
They can make it work if they are good business people. The ones that only know how to plan like they used to and can’t adapt probably shouldn’t have been in that position to begin with and will get discovered soon.

Depends on the day.
Honestly some days I’m fine with this going on for months. I’m getting a crazy amount of unemployment, my gf is my best friend so we are just pallin around the house together. I’m lucky that this has been pretty nice for me.
On the other days I feel the exact opposite. That 260 million facing starvation to save a few million old folks keeps popping into my head and I can’t help but get a little angry that the narrative has flowed towards “Even one death is one death too many”. Like that is not at all realistic and the unintended negative impacts from that perspective may cause death and loss many times greater than the virus itself. And even bringing this up will get you banned from most social media platforms. It’s on these days that I’m fine with a total reopen tomorrow.
