States may have coronavirus reopening plans, but Americans are still wary

Over the coming days, life in some states will start returning to a version of normal.

In South Carolina, the governor announced that many stores and flea markets will reopen. In Florida, beaches can welcome sun worshippers. In Minnesota, golf courses, marinas and shooting ranges are getting primed for sports enthusiasts.

Some officials may feel we’re ready to rebound from the coronavirus crisis, but many citizens aren’t so sure.

Though a depleted economy needs businesses to reopen, the nation remains in a defensive crouch. Whether it's patrons who aren’t quite ready to party with friends or business owners who need weeks to implement safety measures, the overall feeling seems to be one of deep-set culture shock.

“I don’t know one person who feels we’re ready to rock and roll,” says Atlanta-based Jamie Weeks, CEO of Honors Holdings, which operates 120 Orangetheory gyms across six states. That includes Georgia, where Gov. Brian Kemp has even drawn fire from President Donald Trump for reopening gyms, bowling alleys and hair salons.
