I have no idea when .gov will lift the restrictions. I really hope it is by May 1. But I do not think there will be any need to reinstate .gov restrictions.
I think people will avoid public spaces like the plague for at least a year, possibly two. Probably until they see a vaccine stuck into their arm.

Movie theaters will have few patrons, sports arenas will have less. Hell, even the drunks have learned to drink at home.

Other than the schools, the rural populations had little need for government restrictions. The population is doing it on their own.

Well I for one plan to hit a lot of restaurants when they're opened up, and soon hopefully. Couple of reasons, I'm getting tired of home cooking and its some entertainment $ that will go a long ways to helping out a devastated industry. Yep, burritos at Alissa's, donairs at the ma and pa place, Greek food down the road, pub food, Indian food, steak houses, truckers breakfast all that chit. You don't know what you got till its gone.
The new normal will be created by the people. If folks continue to live in fear they will settle for less. I think Americans are a little too self centered and independent to not return to the life style to which they have grown accustomed.
None of the panic causing predictions/models have proven accurate yet and people are starting to reassess acceptable risk. Only time will prove if the mandated restrictions resulted in the desired affect by limiting the disease progression. It will also remain difficult to say what would have happened if no changes were mandated, proving a negative is tough.
Hopefully this will results in people questioning the establishment and demanding change.
Supply chains i.e. dependence on china, MSM credibility and motivations, state and federal responsibility for health and safety and most important personal freedom and responsibility. All must be examined and restructured knowing that this or worse could happen again.
Or we can get back to easy credit, the NFL, and letting the media lead us to our decisions. Only time will tell and optimism is difficult. If people would get busy harassing the elected daily we could reshape our future and take back our lives. Use your computer to make a meaningful noise directed at the lawmakers, not your internet 'friends'.
Vote out the incumbents, except DJT.

I in turn respectfully disagree with you. People have been cooped up so long that I think when they reopen you’re gonna see a run on restaurants, bars, and recreational areas like never before. I also think that there are lots of folks who are obeying the guidelines but really don’t buy into the chicken little bull s h i t, so fear will not be an issue once we go back to business as usual.
Of course what the hell do I know? I could be wrong and it wouldn’t be the first time but I doubt it.
Has anything changed? The only difference I see is lots of people acting like the first month of retirement. The worries will reside after a while. Then the same people will be defending the benefits of retirement. Many will never work again.
Would you like it better if it was you getting Covid 19? Like it or not, there's a better than even chance you'll get first hand experience in the choice. Unless they get a vaccine out in less than a year it is a good bet more of us will have been infected than not.
It’s conditioning. Setting expectations for what is to come to minimize backlash.

The police state is already falling apart in rural Calif. People are sick of it. Last weekend was nice weather and a large primitive recreation site near me with lake access, was packed with families enjoying the weekend. No Forest Service cops showed up, just working people having fun. About as many families as you would see on Memorial weekend or the 4th of July. Maybe air travel and cruise ships will suffer (maybe as they should) in the future but people will travel and access the outdoors. Humboldt and Del Norte county sheriffs are not enforcing Gov Newsoms beach closures. I suspect food and beverage will bounce back here rapidly. The Siskiyou county sheriff has already indicated he is enforcing criminal law with his resources...not quarantine rules.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
