I agree that not having money is an issue that will cause people to riot, but the only thing an early opening will accomplish is a later lockdown when the virus keeps spreading.

My friend teaches in a prefecture about 30 minutes outside of Japan. She has been fighting with her company to allow her to quarantine. She said that nobody was wearing masks there until about a week ago. They just decided to shut down yesterday. They absolutely were not testing.

Probably not. The US has not been locking this down well and this thing doesn't seem to build immunity. If we have to wait for a vaccine it could be a year to five years.
