Unequivocally yes!!
It should have been done sooner, and the numbers show that we have absolutely saved lives by doing so. It’s also realistic that we won’t be able to live this way forever—the mental health implications alone are difficult to ignore. However, there should be no “getting back to normal.” This is not a situation you can slap a bandaid on and pretend didn’t happen. There will have to be significant changes to the way we operate as we try to reopen things and maintain some social distancing until we have the situation fully under control. If we don’t, we will absolutely see a much worse second spike.
