While interesting, let's not be deceived by this dashboard or these goals. It gives the impression that NY is on the cusp of opening up. The reality is that any of these metrics can have strong downward trajectory at any time. And some (such as contact tracing) might not even be feasible in some of the boroughs.

Everybody seemed on board when it was "14 days to flatten the curve". Now it's indefinite. I can already see cracks appearing, with many more people outside and meeting together. We weren't meant to live like this, and there's going to be a lot of negative externalities (domestic abuse, child abuse, suicide, drug abuse relapse, etc[1]). Remember, it's only been barely a month.

I predict soon these states are going to either be forced to open because of a rebellious population, or be forced to criminalize a lot of otherwise normal people.
