  1. I can't help but think there is going to be a merry-go-round in the US with different states closing and opening at different times and the ones with low infections that feel they can open up, end up opening up, only for the infections to start rising again and because there isn't any real closed boarders per state, it's easy to see how badly that can go wrong, which is why the US could be one of the last countries out of this crisis, the sad truth is, a hard shut down was needed on the country nationwide like many others have done but the US didn't really do that, it's doing it per state and even then, the shut down was much lighter than many other countries. Also, the US is weeks behind the curve compared to Europe, some European countries might be ready to take small steps to re-opening but I don't think the US is ready, so it will be interesting to see the numbers over the next few weeks and months. Also we should look at what is going on in China, they are about 5 months behind the west and now major areas are shutting down again, maybe that might be the second wave which if it is, that is likely to happen in western countries by the end of the year, especially the countries that rush to open up, in other words, far more harm than good could come of opening up too soon or opening up too much. Also, opening up the economy means little without the trust and safety of the people, unless they feel safe, it won't help the economy much because a lot won't venture out and buy things. Also, at this rate, most countries are not going to want to open up it's boarders with the US until the US gets it's act together.
