Probably because lots of people are still staying home.
And probably luck where there are crowded places.
And the data from restaurants shows the same.
Just like mobility and other data showed people staying home before the stay at home orders. People are genuinely concerned about the situation and simply telling restaurants to open won't make people suddenly go.
Stopping the stay at home order won't make things return to normal or lead to a recovery. You need people believing the virus is under control. That should be the focus, not the complaining about stay at home orders.
It will be interesting to see how the reopening is different in different areas. Will areas like Seattle see a slower or faster return than other areas? Will it be slower because of more caution or faster because there is trust that the local government has things under control? What about New York City where the local government messed up and there were lots of death? I think the return is going to show a clear connection to how much people trust the local and state government.
Or maybe we are going to see that small changes, like some mask wearing and no large events, is enough to control it. I kinda doubt it based on the cases seen in South Korea, it seems everything can be under control and then very quickly spike, so a very good test and trace program is required even with the small changes.
