The problem with the USA is that New York and New Jersey have over 50% of the deaths of the whole USA.
Some states are doing a lot better.South dakota has just over 2000 positive patients but 80% were at one meat packing centre.They have had 10 deaths.
so the governor from tomorrow is allowing restaurants and bars to reopen but with 10 customers max.
Minnesota where a few of the protests have been has had 3446 positive with 244 deaths.The State Health Dept predicted on April 10 that the State would have 22000 deaths.The University of Washington predicted 360-they appear closer to the mark.
However the Governor has a stay at home order into May,says schools will be closed for the rest of the year and most businesses closed including the Mall of America which is probably known to the shoppers on here.
So whereas severe restrictions should still be in place in NY and NJ they don't make as much sense in some other states just as is happening here in Australia.
