Prior to the orders going in place, Americans had already started social distancing on their own. Data shows that restaurant revenue dropped pretty significantly prior to any lockdowns. So the idea that if we open up we will all go back to normal is just not true.
Additionally, almost 28M Americans are now out of work due to what you are advocating, the vast majority of which are in the lower income. You can not claim to care for the average American while at the same time bankrupt them.
We were told that this lockdown was solely being used to keep the healthcare system from being overrun and it did not come close to being over run in the USA. We were not told this would cure the virus or eradicate it. So, there is no longer a reason to stay locked down according to the reason we were told to do so in the first place. The goal posts are being moved after the fact.
People need to stop being political charlatans acting like the economy does not matter. We all cant, as Cuomo put it yesterday is yet another tone deaf statement of his, go out and get a job as an essential worker.
