The appropriate time will differ based on local circumstances and public gathering spaces aren't going to open for a long time, but masks, hygiene, spacing and health monitoring (e.g. temperature checks) are going to be a regular things for awhile. My next haircut (overdue) will likely seem more like a visit to doctor, I'd guess.

Yup. But amazingly, some people think we should not even do that.
Newsflash: We’ve never really closed. We’ve been carefully open all along. If this reopening were so dangerous, we’d have already seen huge spikes around every grocery store, bodega, liquor shop, pizza joint, hardware store (Hone Depot is packed with people every day).
But we’re not. So the argument can be made the argument is largely already settled.
I think some people just want to fight. They want to play Cassandra, be the wise outlier who knew the herd was wrong. Be the science mind they’re not.
Gates is my favorite jackass in this bunch. If we were to wait for the testing he claims must be in place before opening (nevermind the testing wouldn’t do much unless you were testing everyone every few days, as everyone would be at risk of acquiring the virus every day he or she was out), we’d be on lockdown through September. Brilliant, Bill. Fucking brilliant. Thanks for that sage wisdom.
