the U.S. is still far from a full reopening. Many states have put a temporary pause on moving to the next stage of reopening, or have even reversed course and closed certain businesses again due to surges in the disease. In order to determine the states with the fewest coronavirus restrictions, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 17 key metrics.
Our data set ranges from whether restaurants are opened to whether the state has required face masks in public and workplace temperature screenings. Read on for the state ranking, additional insight from a panel of experts and a full description of our methodology.

RECALL!!
I wish we could, people are fed up!
The unemployment chart shown on the linked article is compelling. The economies of the restricted states are just going to be crushed. The economies of the free states will be just fine.
All to (attempt to) damage Trump.
Well chances are a lot of venues will choose to keep restrictions. All the governor said was that he didn’t require them and he won’t be breathing down anyone’s neck to keep them. However, for all anyone knows, he could change his mind because with politicians you never know. I think he wants to get the economy running though.
Comorbidities have a lot to do with it. Consider the mind-numbingly small number of recorded deaths in all of the armed forces? Those are the exceptionally healthy and fit out of the population. They aren’t the average.
” All the governor said was that he didn’t require them and he won’t be breathing down anyone’s neck to keep them. “
His executive order required that a formal report be submitted on each individual restaurant that had limited capacity. I don’t know how that is working out.
We have been at 100% for two weeks now. Except the one that has the sinkhole out front!
Glaucoma runs in my family and its progress — any indication or change — is undetectable without an optic nerve scan. Otherwise, I agree. (Oh, and despite being in Newsom’s Paradise muzzling wasn’t being taken seriously though I had my diaper with me.
“All the governor said was that he didn’t require them”
Not what he said:

The life expectancy in Africa is generally low.

Depends, IMO.
Rural is independent. Towns over 4k or so are more compliant due to more biz and less wish to get into a pissing contest w/Governor. Friend in La Crosse says it’s pretty compliant there. Actually caused me to cancel a shopping trip to La Crosse.
Fewer large towns in Central WI. Our shopping hub is Wisconsin Rapids (north) or Wisconsin Dells (south). Haven’t been to the Dells, but Rapids is about 50%/50% and no one confronts, but you do get looks. I’m between the two and compliance is up over a month ago, but still less than say La Crosse or Viroqua (which is dead quiet due to shut down).
River towns are a lot like my central location: leave us alone mentality (to put it politely).
Major cause of compliance is business licenses. Evers is on a hair trigger, even though county Sheriffs aren’t enforcing.
Latest Evers move today is a call out to all retired health professionals to volunteer for *emergencies*. This is stupid, of course. Example: Vernon Memorial Hospital (Viroqua) is losing money, has closed some assisted living facilities and the talk is it is NOT due to overload of COVID cases.
*Cases*, of course, are way up due to testing. They need to start labeling positives as *detections*, since they aren’t infections.
