In some areas of the country, the virus isn't having much effect at all. That may change, but right now it isnt.

At some point, we're going to have to open back up. Even if it means flareups. We simply can't stay locked down until there's a vaccine. People may fear the virus, but they also fear economic collapse and destitution.

There's a limit to how long people are willing to put up with restrictions. Compliance has always been shaky in certain places, and not just in red states. Outright defiance is already breaking out here and there and will increase the longer this goes on.
