I don' t think "too early," just not regulated enough. When people congregate at a beach party, pool party, bar, protest, you name it. This is how it spreads.
I believe we are speaking of the opening of businesses not beach parties, pool parties, etc. Businesses are and have been re-opening with mandated mask wearing and social distancing in place so no, I don't think we opened the economy too early.
Well, compared to the early months (March, April) of the outbreak, that's true. Medical treatments and patient management are better now, younger people of average are getting sick.
However US hit its lowest death count (since the April peak) about 2 1/2 weeks ago - 500 /day 7-day average. As of yesterday that number is close to 900, which is 80% increase. In the same time frame the daily infections have increased by "only" 40% and the number of active cases by 30%. In other words deaths can lag by many weeks. And we are seeing this now.
Unless we are talking the 3 or 7 day moving average that is false. The last two or three days all saw 1,000+ deaths a day again.

Or a few hundred massive protests/riots/looting sprees....
If we all were a little more patient.....hold off that haircut and the urge to eat at Denny’s for one more month, we would of been in a far better position today.
If you guys are right about the level of danger of the virus, lets close all grocery stores, and all merchandise stores? Let's close all businesses? So I wont get infected, you wont get infected and nobody gets infected, problem solved. By your logic on the dangers of reopening, we would all be dead by now.

Its not that we opened too soon, its that we "opened" without proper usage of masks and social distancing, and mass mobs of "protests" certainly is not helping either

The crowd was estimated at 200,000 in DC. That was given the "blessing" by doctors, while at the same time telling the rest of us to stay at home as much as possible, and limit outdoor gatherings to 10.

Yeah, sure we would. We might have 40 million unemployed instead of 30 million. The stupid thing? There was no need for a lockdown, we could have just worn masks in the first place, like most of SEA did. But instead....Trump listened to the CDC.
