Much of that seems sensible but reality on the ground has a lot of catching up to do.

Personal bugbear: Why do they stop short of requiring masks in public?

>Downward trajectory

I don't see that working, not with the statistical slop we've been seeing.

>Why do they stop short of requiring masks in public?

Can't trample on American's right to passively harm to themselves or others in the name of freedom.

After six straight days of no new cases, the Canadian province of New Brunswick is beginning to lift its first restrictions - allowing the re-opening of outdoor spaces and allowing members of two different households to gather. (cbc.ca)

Because we don't have enough masks.

True for N95, but there's lots of data that even homemade masks would slow down the spread.

>> even homemade masks

Yes. Homemade masks would be less protective than N95s, but they still have the major benefit of reducing droplet spread by the wearer. Considering that people can be infections before they know they have it, reducing droplet spread is A Good Thing.

My mask protects you, your mask protects me.

Sneeze catchers!

Lodging and bars reopen in California on June 11 in those counties who meet a certain threshold* The cleaning protocols are fairly intense and will take a lot of extra labor. Lodging will be caught in the same Catch-22 as airlines - costs are up, but demand is down.

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

*It seems that the critical threshold is that they open in all counties where the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau has applied sufficient pressure.
