Green means following CDC guidelines I believe still. So it's not back to normal, but most of the heavy restrictions are lifted. I would assume social distancing is still a thing etc. Not sure if there is an actual list somewhere saying what is still recommended.

Well it’s strongly encouraged at least. Maybe we could use it for some leverage but it’s not required so it’s really up to the company. Mellon is working from home until September.

Looks like we're going green next Friday. I don't think that will really affect me much. I've been enjoying curbside pickup from places.

It means they believe somewhere around 10% of the USA has had the virus.

If the symptomatic case fatality rate is .4% and 97k have died that would mean over 24M had and experienced symptoms of the virus

You'd have to think those numbers are heavily concentrated in the cities with major outbreaks though, which would mean a much lower percentage of the populations has been exposed in rural areas and small cities.

Won’t matter in regards to herd immunity as this study shows that herd immunity threshold (when cases will start declining naturally) can be hit depending on the area anywhere from 10% to 40%. Marc Lipsitch seems to think it’s possible.

This could be why asymptomatic cases are 35%.

Apparently Centre County was also on the list to turn green, but a couple County commissioners asked to push it back a week and the a Wolf administration said “okay”.

Dr. Anthony Fauci says staying closed for too long could cause 'irreparable damage'

"I don't want people to think that any of us feel that staying locked down for a prolonged period of time is the way to go," Fauci said during an interview with CNBC's Meg Tirrell on "Halftime Report."

He said the U.S. had to institute severe measures because Covid-19 cases were exploding then. "But now is the time, depending upon where you are and what your situation is, to begin to seriously look at reopening the economy, reopening the country to try to get back to some degree of normal."

However, Fauci also cautioned states against reducing social distancing measures too quickly, adding they must take "very significant precautions."

"In general, I think most of the country is doing it in a prudent way," he said. "There are obviously some situations where people might be jumping over that. I just say please proceed with caution if you're going to do that."
Full quote for context.

Yup. I still believe the measures that were taken were necessary and I think, depending on the situation in your particular area, it’s time to start opening back up. Some will do it quickly and others won’t. Just the nature of the “correct” way to do it for your area. I only use quotes because no one really knows the correct way to do this.

importantly, we detected SARS-CoV-2−reactive CD4+ T cells in ~40-60% of unexposed individuals, suggesting cross-reactive T cell recognition between circulating ‘common cold’ coronaviruses and SARS-CoV-2.
Basically you might have some form of immunity if you had one of the other coronaviruses or “common cold.”
