There is an article in The Guardian on this. The Guardian is an extremely liberal newspaper, so not surprisingly most of the article is quoting mayors in Georgia who are very upset with the reopening. (I am not saying this point of view is wrong, just that it would be the slant given in The Guardian.)
What I found most interesting is a fifth mayor almost immediately was texted by a restaurant owner concerned that reopening would be worse for him than staying closed. He thought that he would only get a trickle of customers willing to risk it. In the meantime, he would have to pay his staff and end up losing more money than staying closed.
There are certainly some interesting twists to this whole CoVid19 story. (Crude oil having a negative price where those who have to take possession will pay someone to take it off their hands! Wow!)
That is an interesting point. Maybe that restaurant owner should stay closed until more time passes and more people start going out. That is his choice. Why make everyone else wait? If everyone else opens, they are testing the waters for him.
