By keeping things shut down it becomes a punishment and certainly not protective of the people. When the stats start showing no deaths and few new infections the protests will be overwhelming. I expect that to happen soon.

WTF?
How can there by ANY pushback against talk about starting the "reopening process" when all three curves (cases, hospitalization and deaths) have been flattened almost to the point of oblivion?
And this is the WORST SPOT in the USA!?!?!?

The stats are wrong. Yesterday 474 people died in NY State due to COVID. 95% of all deaths in NYS come from NYC, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties. Where I work, 80 of my co-workers have died from COVID, 7 of whom I worked with personally. Many of my coworkers go to work in fear that they will be next.
Many places might be able to return to quasi-normal within the next few months. Expect the NYC area to be one of the last ones.
