We reopened before we were ready, and now we’re seeing the consequences. Over 1,000 medical professionals have joined a call from USPIRG to shut down, start over, and do it right. We can still get COVID-19 under control, but it will require bold, coordinated, nationwide action: universal face coverings, shutting down high risk businesses, and a ban on non-essential interstate travel.
