Most states have ended lockdown down. Some for more than a month. Covid deaths in the US are still declining. The difference between now and March is that we have a much better understanding about the nature of super-spreading events.[1]
We know that a very high amount of spreading comes from a disproportionately small amount of activities. Like choir practice, unventilated subways, and nursing homes. The upshot is that any future lockdown will be much more tailored and have a much smaller impact than the full-scale shutdown we saw in April.
