Dr. Anthony Fauci sat before Congress and testified that reopening states too soon will most likely be a mistake. Fauci testified that another outbreak can be triggered by reopening states too soon. If it was up to Dr. Tony Fauci, he would shut down the economy for the next 18th months. The longer the states remain in a shut down, the harder and longer it will take for the economy to recover.
