Social distancing will likely remain for a bit - as much as it can - in the workplace and retail. Start reopening sooner than later to save as many businesses and livelihoods as possible.
As for a vaccine - that could take up to 6 months or so. And by that time will the virus have mutated? Then what -- we start this all over again? Round two may be inevitable, no matter how much we try to prevent it.
As we've seen in the last several days US citizens are growing weary of being told to continue to sacrifice -- more and more are protesting as they want to go back to work and make money so they can pay their rent or mortgage, feed their families, keep their vehicles, etc. Many are rightfully concerned that the rights they've so freely given up this last month will not return - and that possibility is frightening.

As you drink that kool-aid, I might suggest that your think about it.... The issue that you will see once this Stay-Home order is lifted.... many of the minimum wage jobs will continue to be vacant. THIS will force the permanent closure of many retail and RESTAURANT/BAR jobs.
These workers will grab the quick money. (A couple hundred bucks a week for UE plus their windfall of $600/wk). By the time the bonus round of $600/wk is removed, the season will be over... and business will have closed.
