Thank you! Most people are not returning to business as usual. It’s not like the economy is going to just return to normal as cases skyrocket and people are dying.

There are problems with the article, but this isn't one of them. You are a rare minority; the overwhelming majority of people don't want to be locked down nor are they afraid to be outside.

  I went to a barbershop and the owner was cutting hair because only 2 or 3 of the other barbers wanted to come back. I thought there would be a huge line or backlog but I was the only one in there and she said it's just been really hard to get people to feel safe to come back in. They're checking temperatures, requiring masks etc. but not enough have felt safe to go there. However, I also started going to the gym again and that has been jam packed with people. They roped off a lot of machines and areas to keep people distanced but it doesn't seem like that will help. Every time I've been I'm one of the two patrons that wears a mask. Other than staff, no one does. I don't think there's any clear cut statistics on this but people are definitely split on the issue of remaining quarantined/doing basic stuff and going back to business as usual.

    Age and heath is a huge factor in people’s perceived and actual risks. A fit and healthy 25 year old going to the gym regularly is at something like 1% the risk of the average 90 year old. On top the tendency of young people to think themselves invincible and you get wildly different responses from different age groups. PS: Over 33% of US deaths are from people over 85, 1% are from people under 35.

  According to OpenTable, restaurant bookings are dramatically off. Even in Texas, reservations are down 43%. People don’t want to die from Covid-19. Get that under control, and they will go out again. It’s as simple as that.
