Oh.  I had assumed that posters who were advocating for rapidly re-opening businesses were themselves business owners.  If you're not, then why do you think society should re-open quickly?
More likely either owners or employees or people who otherwise benefit from economic activity.

The customers are ready!
Maybe not all, but those who already had covid, those at low risk, and those throwing caution to the wind.

That's where I disagree with you.  I think most of the customers are not ready.  Those who've had covid, those at low risk, those throwing caution to the wind are still a minority of the population.  The group of vulnerables, and those who closely associate with them and so consider themselves indirectly vulnerable, are larger than you seem to think.

It probably depends where you live. In Lakewood the latter group is the minority and getting smaller every day.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Everyone said that people aren’t gonna come back. But that hasn’t been true, data from all over the country has indicated that people are ready to go back to normal life. Consumer data has been on a steady rise, as well as restaurant reservations..

I don't know what percentage had it, but that was only one part of the latter groups, there are also the low risk and those throwing caution in the wind.

When you are at the lowest point in history you can only go up.

The rise is not fast enough for all.  This is a report from Georgia, on May 21, three weeks after Governor Kemp allowed restaurants to re-open:

"For small business owners who were struggling to pay their bills, expected relief from reopening may have hurt them more.

"When the governor officially opened the state back up, that changed the mindset of the creditors that we owed money to -- the vendor and the landlord --and it shifted from 'we’ll work with you' to 'we need our money now,'" said Turner.

He said 90 percent of his customers worked near his restaurant. Without them fully back in the office, his seats remained empty."

Yes, some other restaurants did better, and it may be too early to know how widespread this will be.

So then those will stay away.

This is a game changer if accurate. Widespread accurate rapid testing can be even better than a vaccine, especially if there would be an option to administer these at home.

If everyone could get tested rapidly, easily, and constantly it is easier to mandate than a vaccine, less intrusive, and should prevent any large flare ups from occurring by strategic implementation (for example, test required upon entry to any high risk venue like stadiums, weddings, large stores, or a nursing home or the home of anyone higher risk)
