Do you mean we just go back to the way things were before all of this started? Newsflash: It isn't going to happen. If the powers that be decided that tomorrow everything would go back to "normal" (DisneyWorld opens back up, airlines start flying their normal schedules, cruiselines start up again, restaurants begin going back to full capacity, baseball fields open, shopping malls open up, etc), one of two things would happen: Either almost nobody would patronize these establishments anyway and the economy would do nothing, OR almost everyone would be back to business as usual, many more would get sick, and the economy would be even worse off than it is now. Or a mixture of the two.
It's great to be a keyboard warrior and demand that everything suddenly go back to the way things were in February starting tomorrow or May 1 or June 1, but it isn't going to happen that way no matter how much you may wish it would.
I would agree than New York and Jersey should stay put but there are many areas where the virus has had minimal impact to the populace...if no vaccine works, does everyone stay in their homes now for years until they die according the liberal control freak Nazis?
No part of the country or state is immune, todays minimal impact is tomorrows epidemic.
I voted June 1st to allow the summer heat and sunshine to inoculate us a bit first.
While this would be a great idea if there was any indication that summer heat and sunshine killed the disease, there really isn't. I'm in Florida and it's oppressively hot... and yet our numbers are still growing by the day.

That definition has been sorely lacking any details.
This is not a situation that can work with the proverbial one size fits all type of solution, so what will work for one region will not work for others, that's why this has to be approached with caution.
Test the free money experiment. If it works we are all set, if it fails we get to start over.
Free money is wonderful. But $1200 isn't worth the effort. They should give everybody $100,000.
