COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)
I don't know about us being "open". The parks around me are all closed. Down towns were ghost towns. My kids haven't been outside, other than to take the trash out (or the one who had to go to work twice.. the second time was to inventory the closed store). My wife has only been out to go get groceries 3 times in two weeks. I had our first deliveries. She's working from home. I stayed home yesterday. At work today and haven't been closer than 6-10 feet to anyone. We sanitize the high contact areas nightly.
And remember, total lock down by its self wasn't the best answer. Social distancing with approx 25% of people possibly interacting or ignoring it (going off what I think that WaPo article said weeks ago) was a lot better, and 12.5% was best.

Having kids out, and a lot of people working from home, or keeping their distance and better washing habbits will help a lot.
We probably need to adopt the whole Asian mask deal though. Prevent those spreaders from spreading.
A percentage of stupid people will always be there, and so long as we can isolate them after they get symptoms, the damage, while done, won't break out too far.
The focus needs to be on as many as possible staying home and following stricter social interaction guidelines, washing up better, and allowing people who are sick to STAY HOME AND NOT WORRY ABOUT PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE OR PAY THEIR RENT!!!!! (that's the Government responsibility.. with some corporate). Anyone that does stock buy backs after this should be drawn and quartered.
