Boston, MA - 5/13/2020: A sign hangs in the window at Sip CafŽ in a near deserted Post Office Square in Boston, MA on May 13, 2020. Governor Charlie BakerÕs plan to reopen the economy in phases starting as soon as Monday may come as a relief to struggling business owners and nearly 1 million people left unemployed by the coronavirus crisis. But many scientists caution that it may be too soon to broadly reopen Massachusetts, which has been among the hardest-hit states in the country, with 5,141 deaths so far. If the state moves too quickly, they warn, it risks a bleak calculus: a catastrophic second wave of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths Ñ while further harming the economy. (Craig F.
