How we came to sense it's now time to reopen the "normal everyday" outside!

No, it wasn't Trump's twitter or call to "liberate the Democratic states!"

It was an evaluation of how devastating this virus is--once it could be determined how much a threat it poses to the human race.

1--It kills primarily old people, above 65, though it can attack persons of any age.
2--Those who test positive may not need hospitalization and the certain procedures requiring hospitalization.
3--"Old folks' homes" don't usually have medical personnel on their staff; and so there could be changes in the way these facilities are run that would identify virus victims; perhaps, even allow for quarantine quarters on the premises of the afflicted.
4--Care must be made in recommending how the virus should be controlled; and subsequently, overcome.  For there are not only physical affects to any such recommendation, but also mental and social costs, e.g., increase in crime, famine as occurring in Africa and South America; but deterioration of the social fabric.

Clearly, the methods promoted by the public health people to prevent the spread of the virus should be in place while mitigation proceeds in reopening.

Reopening should be in stages as set forth by governmental administrations.  

And, as reopening proceeds, there should be milestones, at each of which an evaluation should occur: whether to continue to the next stage of reopening or even to go back.

You will note that the governors have by and large been responsible agents in their planning for reopening.
