Across the U.S., state leaders are grappling with the challenging decision of when to relax the social distancing restrictions that have helped keep COVID-19 in check.
Already this week, Georgia's governor has allowed businesses such as gyms, hair salons and movie theaters to reopen — despite not meeting many of the White House's guidelines for Phase 1 of reopening. South Carolina's governor has taken a similar tack — including reopening the state's beaches.
And the governors of other states such as Tennessee and Ohio say they will allow their stay-at-home orders to expire next week, with varying degrees of social distancing required beyond that point.
But how should states decide when to reopen? Epidemiologists and other public health specialists warn against moving too fast. They note that the coronavirus is still circulating. Cases could spiral up to catastrophic levels all over again unless proper measures are taken.
A real New Yorker
Between the side burns, the banada, the muddy muck boots, the carhartt vest, muddy jeans, the area that work overshirt and the Molon Labe t-shirt with the AR-15s on it, I feel like I am dressed like a real New Yorker today.

These protests have popped up around the country. How coordinated are they? Diane asks Jane Coaston, Vox senior political reporter.
While I am certainly receptive to the Liberate America protests I also was aware they are quite political and tied into the republican political machine so I’ve kept my distance from the protests locally. It’s always fascinating how the grass roots protests get mixed in with big money and professional organizations. It’s no different than the anti-war or anti-Trump protests. Grass roots often join forces and make piece with monied interests.
