I think it could work. Heavens know, I will now have to actively avoid places that are not at least careful about how they reopen. I am mildly concerned about people, who see doing the opposite as a political expression, but some things cannot be helped.

The bet is that by giving data back to people to let them make their own decisions about safety, they'll self moderate.

  Except for the workers, paid predominantly minimum wage or near it, who effectively have no choice.

    Actually, many deployments are going into factories, fulfillment centers, and meat processing plants specifically to help keep workers safe.

  Doesn't help when things are pressured into opening up and then you're forced to make the decision to put yourself at risk by going to work or get fired.

  > Those people are a very small but vocal minority, being amplified by social media. I disagree. Tens of thousands of people in my state don’t obey any stay at home order. People take off masks once in stores. As someone who also goes out a lot right now I haven’t seen anyone be asked to put their mask on or leave.

    Which state? And how do you know tens of thousands are ignoring it?

      Georgia reopened weeks ago and yesterday hit their lowest levels of cases and deaths since the outbreak began at 22 and 3 respectively: https://ga-covid19.ondemand.sas.com/ https://ga-covid19.ondemand.sas.com/

        Georgia reopened 14 days ago. The incubation is 14 days. If their numbers stay low in the next few days then great! But if they start going up, they will have sacrificed the lives of Georgians to prove that it’s not safe to reopen. I hope the cases stay low.

        No, they started reopening on April 24th: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/kemp-shuttered-georgia-businesses-reopen-friday-70250918 https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/kemp-shuttered-georg... So yeah the models were wrong.

        It was a very limited reopening on April 24. The full reopening didn’t happen until April 30.
