I'm just repeating myself but experts have yet to be right, why would we need to wait another two weeks for them to be wrong again? When Georgia reopened and Wisconsin held elections the experts said it would have tragic Covid consequences...not even remotely close. Deaths actually have declined. There is not a state that has reopened that has had a material increase (most are decreases) in the death rate, or hospitalization rate (for those states that report hospitalizations).Many of the experts said we need to restrict group gatherings to 25 people or less and wear masks and maintain 6 ft distance to prevent a surge in infections and those are three of the main restrictions in many states including California and New York . Obviously our state and local officials thought this was serious enough to keep these restrictions in place despite raging unemployment and a devastated economy .
We have had peaceful protests and not so peaceful riots 9 straight days and nights in many cities and most states . The majority of these protests have consisted of peaceful very large groups of people . In those situations most people have had a hard time maintaining a 6 ft social distance and many wore masks and many did not.
If the experts are right we should see a very large increase in infections over the next one to two weeks over much of the US .
If we don't see this large increase in infections it would appear the experts were wrong and it seems reasonable that we should lift the restrictions and open up our struggling economy and get people working again to support their families . Or at least the restrictions should be greatly reduced in most states and eliminated in others.
