we have flattened the curve, hospitals are empty, why are we still in quarantine (Mina: shopping centers, parks)

Looks like all the rules for social distancing have been waived in the cities if what I am seeing all over the TV is accurate. If we don't see an uptick in the infection rates of these cities we know it (social distancing rules) can be generally waived at the beaches, in the parks, and maybe even in the outdoor sports arenas.
Think of the mass demonstrations in the streets, stores crowded with looters, folks shouting in each others faces without masks, 'protesters' handing bricks to each other without gloves, sharing of gasoline containers to torch cars, etc. as a giant and somewhat wacky epidemiological experiment.

As the current guidelines say that the virus isn’t transmitted well on other surfaces I wouldn’t be worried about bricks and bottles.
But there would be a certain amount of irony if the protestors/rioters/arsonists/looters all got sick.

Cute - but you forgot kneeling on someone's neck until they die. That certainly isn't following social distancing guidelines.

Yes, neither is armed robbery. Nor many other examples of violent lawbreaking. Committed by police or otherwise.
But none of that is part of the wacky (and quite violent BTW) epidemiological study we see unfolding on our city streets.

The economy would have ended up "dead" either way, with or without a mandated shutdown. Most people with half a brain would not have willingly exposed themselves to a virus that could potentially make them very sick or kill them. The other segment of the population, the invincible "tough guys" would have kept the tattoo parlors and bars in business but our economy is not predicated on the success of those industries. But the sad part is, there are probably enough of them that we would probably have ended up with twice as many hospitalizations and deaths.
And yet the police, fire, grocery workers, gas stations, truckers, delivery drivers, and others that make up the 20% "essential" service kept working because they were allowed to. And we don't see any of those segments shut down today because the workers all got sick.
Oh, yes, it is definitely from your source. You put two links in your post number 760. Here's what you wrote:
Recent data showed the economic slowdown in Sweden in the first three months of 2020 was less extreme than elsewhere in Europe — a contraction of 0.3 percent versus 3.8 percent in the eurozone — but economists are bracing for a big hit. https://www.politico.eu/article/swed...9-light-touch/
Two links were in that post, both to Politico articles. The first is copied from the title of an article; the second paragraph of that article begins "A Eurostat preliminary flash estimate shows..." Here is the article, again.
Once again, you either have no comprehension of what you read, write or link or you are intentionally spreading false information
Oh, sublinks from links? Look at the dates. The article I cited about the economic numbers was dated 5/18/2020 while the sublink you cite calling it preliminary was 4/30/2020.

I saw one orderly demonstration in New York where they were distanced and masked. In the case of throwing bricks and Molotov cocktails more damage will come from their spreading of Covid-19 than from the explosives and projectiles being hurled. </sarcasm> The liberal politicians do not want to hear this.

What a dumb attempt at false equivalency.
