The basis for my opinion at the time - to which you've made reference - was the assumption that the powers that be would've somewhat faithfully followed "doctors orders"! .... Oh well... lol
Btw, it was no accident that I used language such as SHOULD, HOPE, WISH in talking about this previously. (See posts #25, 27,29,etc)
"Under Control" : Lifting the lock down, and managing the situation effectively from that point on, so that people (the economy) can continue to live (function) without a vaccine for COVID-19 without undue anxiety.
From my perspective, MANY people are becoming more scared of this thing. For the life of me, I do not understand why. Look at California, masks just now became mandatory statewide outside of your home. Many "essential" businesses where I live (downtown seattle) are now asking customers to wear a mask. And this just started happening this week! So I know many people are weary of the situation and ready to get back to real life, but there seems to be equal numbers of people that are becoming more scared as time goes on.
For some reason, it almost seems to be becoming a partisan political issue.
