Same with CA. Three different northern counties with low population density and minimal CV-19 cases have re-opened.

More critically, people with influence (politicians and media) are not setting policy and reporting appropriately. We might be feeling safe due to large numbers getting infected and recovering without any issues, but we're far from herd-immunity. I still can't believe that face-mask requirements are not universal. That should be mandatory given that social-distancing is wishful thinking. Real reach of sneeze is closer to 2-3x distance dictated by social-distancing. Studies like this should be blasted on news, rather than showing nurses saying "Only sick people should wear face-masks". What idiots!!!

Early on, the virus was discovered in HVAC ventilation-system of hospitals. That was clue that it was airbourne. Washing-hands to clean off large droplets that fall onto surfaces doesn't do sh*t against aerosolized droplets that hang in air and can travel large distances once it's fully evaporated. As can be seen in photo above, only small portion of sneeze are in large enough drops to fall out, rest of spray stays suspended.
