As for me the school I work as has been offering online studies to our students, the whole time. The high school has restarted a few weeks ago, middle school returned today and it is a possibility that the kindergarten students will return next week. The way we teach, interact with students and the way they interact with each other will be vastly different from the way things were before.
That being said, in a way life is beginning to returning to normal here and we feel pretty safe to walk around and do errands, but we still haven't been to a restaurant or done anything social outside of the home. When we go out we are still trying to wear a mask, sanitizing and keeping distance from others just to be sure.
I had friends come over for dinner last Friday and received my first hug from someone outside my house hold since January. What a strange thing to be sharing but these are strange time we are living in!

Can't speak for the rest of the lower-48 but we're starting to open up here in Jersey. The GF and I are in a weird spot mentally because we both understand and appreciate the need for quarantining, especially for a densely-populated state such as NJ, but we're also getting tired of not having places to go. It doesn't help that she is an ICU nurse who has been at the front of this and seeing the worst since the second week of March.
