I sincerely doubt any NE state will "open" May 1. NYC may be on the downside of the flattened curve, but Boston is definitely on the upside. IMO, you'll need at least 4 weeks to pass after the "Peak" to be moderately safe to start limited openings.
Hate to piss on everyone's dreams, but that's my educated opinion. I'm looking forward to the Guvs vs the Pres duking it out, probably in the courts...
You were right..... *deep sigh*
