My thought, which is pure speculation, is that repukes found some loophole which would allow them to steal any unused unemployment funds. If they get to kill working people & make money, they get really excited & they sure are pushing reopening, clearly long before it is safe.

IMO, no one should be forced to return to work until ALL people - healthcare workers & 1st responders at the top of the list, of course - have an adequate supply of N-95 or N-99 masks available.
