I have a question for people in the NY/NJ area. There was understandably a lot of noise NY/NJ to "go back to normal" since Pesach, maybe even before. Many of those pushing for mass normalization pointed to states with low case counts who were reopening, such as FL, TX, and AZ, as proof that it could and should be done.
The question is really in 3 parts:
1) Given what we're seeing now from states that reopened, do you still feel as strongly for mass reopening vs slow reopening?
2) As
@avromie7 stated elsewhere, you need infected people in order to spread the virus. Considering how many people were infected in NY/NJ 6 weeks ago, and what we see 6 weeks later from states which had low infection rates at the time, do you think not opening NY/NJ back then turned out to be the right move, even inadvertently?
3) Given the spread in certain states now and the lack of mask laws in those states, did NY have it right all along, even if the enforcement was done horribly?
