We shall see. In my opinion, it is a certainty that there is going to be a sharp increase in cases and deaths in every state where it is opened up this early. What I don't know, and I suspect nobody does, is whether the death rate will be the same among red voters (who tend to be the ones angry at the shutdown rules) or blue voters.
