Syracuse, N.Y. — "Cars are being sold in-person again, and minor surgeries could resume today as Central New York begins a slow reawakening of the economy halted by the novel coronavirus.

The region gets to take the first baby steps to normalcy because our adherence to strict social distancing measures has confined the infection to about 2% of the population.

But that success also means that as we emerge from lockdown, 98% of us could still get sick. Growing lax on things like washing our hands and avoiding gatherings could unleash an outbreak of the virus that we’ve so far avoided."
