Call me back in 15 days…

Dozens of countries and cities worldwide are reopening their economies worldwide.

We are seeing in the US, dozens of states playing the Russian roulette by lifting restrictions before meeting even minimal criteria for a safe reopening

We are seeing as well in Europe to Spain, France, Italy, Germany and others European countries across the continent are taking careful steps and reopening their cities in different phases.

But we are watching on the news as well with terror (at least some of us…I hope it is not only me) people desperate to reopen and to go back to their normal life. They have the right to feel that way. they have convinced themselves that it’s safe to reopen, and it’s not. We are watching people striking against the lockdown restrictions, people who don’t believe that Covid 19 exists. People who are going out to dance on the streets and most of them are going out without a protection. From little children to seniors.

History has taught us that a second wave (and maybe a third one) are almost likely to happen when we change from one season to another in the coming months.

As a result of this, there is a really big chance that we will not need to wait until autumn.

As the New York Times has published on May 11th, 2020: “We’re not reopening based on science,” said Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, a former director of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in the Obama administration. “We’re reopening based on politics, ideology and public pressure. And I think it’s going to end badly.”

The effects of the reopening will not be immediately apparent, because it takes two or three weeks for newly infected people to become sick.

So, call me back in 15 days, but meanwhile share what you think about it.
