I think we need to get those lightly impacted areas back to work now so that if this does circle back on us in the fall, we’re as financially stable as we can be.

Yes, with a thorough understanding of the virus and the way it works, and a comprehensive understanding of geographic demographics, and the time to plan by demographics, then yes, it probably should have been done differently.

Unfortunately, 1 We didn't know much about how the Virus actually works and 2 We didn't have a ton of time to try to plan based on population density, culture, environment, etc....

Maybe in the aftermath, we should get the various govt agencies from fed to local to spend a bunch of time figuring out the demographics, pop density, culture, etc... and then design area specific measures for future pandemics and/or emergencies.

But in an unexpected, poorly understood emergency, I'm not sure expecting a super granular reaction is realistic.

I do agree with you and hope that "we" will learn from this and if something like this happens again, will have a better reaction.
