Does any state meet that criteria, even NY? You can have 13 days of declines and one slight uptick restarts the clock.

That is part of why New York is going with a regional approach. The regions that meet a set of seven criteria can begin opening Friday. Those that don't must wait until they reach those criteria. The opening also doesn't happen all at once. It is broken into four phases, with things like schools and larger events in the fourth phase. I get the logic of this plan, because things are very different in the western part of the state than they are in New York City, but it's not as if the virus is going to respect regional lines any more than it does state lines.

CBS poll today found 70 percent of respondents said they wore a mask either all or most of the time in public. Nothing is ever going to be universal in the US, but that's a respectable figure, and interestingly, the non-mask wearers' reasons were almost all about how they found wearing one a pain in the ass, not as a political or cultural statement.
