The United States has crossed an uneasy threshold, with all 50 states beginning to reopen in some way two months after the coronavirus thrust the country into lockdown. But there are substantial variations in how states are deciding to open up, with some forging far ahead of others.
Life in Georgia, which was among the first states to reopen many businesses in April, feels far different than in Illinois, which is one of three states and Washington, D.C., that are reopening in small ways but are still largely shut down. Several states are removing restrictions on beaches and pools going into Memorial Day weekend.
The lifting restrictions reflect the immense political and social pressures weighing on the nation’s governors to open up, even as epidemiologists remain cautious and warn of the potential for a second wave of cases.
