Very interesting, at least to me You Gov poll.

For a few years I have been active in You Gov. polling. Put money about$500 i my pockets and allowed me to chime in with my progressive views. Anyhow they asked some of us to join a new chat poll where they give instant feedback. I just took one and was actually surprised by the totals on one question asked only to people in lockdown states. The question as all, are was multiple choice on whether restrictions should be lifted now or date in the future. Majority said a few more weeks 2nd choice was months. Bringing up the rear was immediately with only 7% supporting that. I know it isn't scientific but I think it points out some pretty interesting things.

I think that's in line with national polling where only under 10% want it open now. Merlot Apr 2020 #1

These "liberty" protests make me laugh a bit. So a few hundred people show up in a city to demand immediate "freedom." But millions of people in the same place are voting with their butts and saying "we're staying inside and obeying orders, because they make sense."

All of us voting for weeks or months should start posting our "stay-in protest" signs on Instagram and Facebook to protest the protesters.

Even Texas isn’t an open. Not sure why they just can’t say June 1st the country will reopen. That gives what Governor Cuomo said today about 28 days. If on June 1st a few states can’t then ok. Open when you can. This is not rocket science.
