This also means large, economy-driving cities, that thrive because of interconnected social networks will be slower to reopen, while rural communities might have never effectively shut down. NYC will be interesting to watch in this regard.
If interconnectedness is the economic driver we think it is, we'll see slower growth until people return to cities.
In the US, there's been some push for more national action around preventing/managing the spread of covid. While I agree that more national leadership is needed, and standard guidelines around reporting and degrees of "open" would be helpful, the US is so diverse a nation-wide lockdown never made sense, and there are enough complicated factors that the decision really has to be made at local levels.
