I think they're playing Russian roulette,'' Dr. John Swartzberg, a clinical public health professor emeritus and expert in infectious diseases, says about states that are prematurely reopening businesses amid the COVID-19 pandemic. They're hoping obviously that reopening the states is not going to lead to increased cases. They have no way of monitoring the answer to that question until it explodes," he adds. "If they reopen the state without adequate testing and without adequate contact tracing, there will be more cases, and they won't recognize those cases until they start appearing in the emergency room and then in the ICU.'' He also points out that some of these states -- including George, South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Alaska -- weren't doing enough testing to begin with. "They don't know where they're starting from, so they're really doing this whole thing in a blind fashion. ... It's like putting a blindfold on and walking forward."
