OTOH, it took about a week before the roads/stores were full again. Around here there are plenty of closed businesses too, but the ones that are open seem about as busy (if not more) so than usual.
While the idea of shutting everything down during a pandemic to keep from wiping out 50% of the population/whatever might be a good idea. It was pretty apparent early on that this was low single digit % and overwhelmingly people with existing serious conditions. Telling those people to self quarantine really was the only solution. Its readily apparently that nothing actually changed in the month we stayed at home in TX. No vaccine, no additional personal protective equipment, nothing. So we all just sat at home and destroyed a large part of the economy for nothing. Particularly since to have done it "right" we would all still be sitting at home waiting for a vaccine or whatever. Given the current time-frame it might be another 6+ months. Even the testing hasn't gotten good enough to test everyone in contact, much less even find everyone who has been in contact. Maybe the one thing we now know is just how effective good masks can be. Not that anyone is even wearing masks anymore at some places (home depot for one).
So, big waste, nothing gained, and states saying closed until something changes are going to be in a world of hurt. I predict they will be forced open by politics long before either the testing/tracing or vaccine situation changes sufficiently to make a difference.
