Re: Trump's Restart Plan

I think the rules need to be by type of activity, not by county density.

Note that rural counties often don't have hospitals at all, so any serious infections that do happen are hard to treat.

A restaurant in a rural county could easily hold 30 people, while a restaurant in NYC could easily be the same size. Both are good spreaders of infection. I don't see opening rural restaurants for seating any time soon as being a good idea.

I've never been a fan of the really tight lockup (covering manufacturing and construction as well as everything else it covers), though maybe it is necessary in certain places and times. My thought is that construction and manufacturing generally involve interaction with the same small team day after day, and therefore aren't as risky. That applies in rural counties, suburban, and cities.

Admittedly, in a city, those workers often need to take public transportation to get to work. But given that office workers are working from home, many more construction workers in the city could potentially drive to work. Maybe cities should ease parking rules so that more people can drive to work.
