Still seems to be a lot that is uncertain. No timeline for all schools to reopen, parents can't go to work if they have to stay home. Who can say how many currently furloughed will lose their jobs entirely. Plus, for retailers to open "safely" they will have to remove store fixtures, meaning less stock, less customers, less income. I think the mood is overly optimistic but then again, I'm no analyst.
