What they say they will do, and what they really do are two different things.

Who Will Reopen the Economy—the President, the Governors, or the People?

Who Will Reopen the Economy—the President, the Governors, or the People?

Neither the president nor the governors can push a button and “reopen the economy.” Americans have to decide they feel safe enough to end social distancing.

Responding to President Trump’s claim on Monday that he had “total authority” to decide when to “open up the states” and the economy, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson wrote:

Trump is not the one who decided to shut everything down: He never issued a nationwide stay‐at‐home order. We are sequestered and socially distanced because our governors and mayors told us we needed to be.

But that’s not really true. We’re mostly staying home because we decided to — we as individuals, and businesses, and civil society. Consider this timeline of decisions:

• March 6 — SXSW canceled
• March 10 — Ivy League cancels its basketball tournament
• March 11 — March Madness will be played without fans
• March 12 — March Madness canceled
• March 13 — Masters and Boston Marathon postponed
• March 15 — CDC recommends cancellation of events involving 50+ people
• March 16 — Kentucky Derby postponed
• March 19 — California becomes the first state to issue a stay‐home and business‐closing order

And look at this chart from OpenTable, which shows that in various states restaurant reservations began falling as much as 20 days before the state issued an order closing restaurants, and plummeted around a week before the order.

“Recent data from Axios/Ipsos show that large majorities consider common public activities, like going grocery shopping or attending a family gathering, to be a large or moderate risk right now.

All of my friends said their lifestyles will be changing after guid lines are lifted. Less trips to stores. No eating out. No spending $$ on non essentials. This will become a Nationwide trend, not for everyone, but for a decent percentage of American citizens. Events with many people will be avoided. It's going to be interesting.
