Yes, I know cases are skyrocketing in a few southern states. And they are slightly rising in others - though in many states the rise is easily explained by more testing. But as health officials tells us the rise is primarily among young people, whose mortality rate is about 20x smaller than older people, I think there is at least some room for cautious optimism; at least until the death rate starts to increase.
If we could stop talking about shutting everything down, and focus on wearing face coverings and convincing the minority of folks who are the greatest risk to be extra cautious, it would seem we could control this thing.
