What I¡¯m most concerned about in the US is that different approaches that various states, and to some extent, areas of the country are taking.? Some of the governors have formed coalitions to coordinate reopening, most notably a set of western states, a bunch of states in the northeast/mid-Atlantic region, and I believe one set of states in the Midwest.? Those coalitions seem to be more cautious overall than some of the states I¡¯m seeing reopen now.?

What happens if my area is cautious and attempts to keep the curve declining (as I believe it finally is in NJ) while other areas increase the number of infections?? Despite what some governors have said, there are no restrictions on travel within the US and I don¡¯t know what any of this looks like.

Or whether my sons will be able to go back to school in the fall, which is one of the biggest things I am worrying about personally right now.
Though as my DH and I were saying at breakfast, when it¡¯s a choice of risk possibly catching something which might not make you individually very ill, or starve and see your kids starve, there¡¯s no doubt what almost anyone would choose. People just hope they as individuals won¡¯t be part of the higher price which will be paid overall. Africa and India are going to get caught the same way.
