The problem with having individual states decide what should be open is that of course there is movement between states. People who are asymptomatic may just go to a state that has opened and spread the disease anew. That is the problem with Texas's approach too: they propose to open up different counties at different rates-- cf star-telegram.com . Unemployed people will go to where they might find a job.

We are one country, one very large country. Not a country loosely grouped with a lot of independent states. We have free movement both between states and within states. We can't compromise that. That has enormous advantages in normal times and clear disadvantages in times like this.
