It strikes me as early.
I'm most interested in hospital capacity/ability to take on additional patients, which undoubtedly will be forthcoming (and there's nothing inherently wrong with that expected development).
Also expect self-regulation to help dampen "second wave," which I think is inevitable.
If things get out of hand at hospitals (or are expected to), then we'll see a shutdown. Again, I'm not going to "blame" GA for going too early, unless their numbers now show an overrun is inevitable, and they just said "WTF, who cares?" But judging from the posts here, I'll be in the minority on that front . . .
