Small shops have reopened in Berlin as a few nations eased coronavirus restrictions to restart their economies. The trepidations expressed by workers and customers, however, are indicating that a return to normality is still a long way off. In France, long lines built up outside the few McDonald’s drive-thrus that reopened. In the U.S., some states were relaxing restrictions after vocal protests by those demanding to return to work. But health officials have warned against lockdown measures being lifted too quickly for fear of creating a second wave of infections. In California, two people with coronavirus died in the state weeks before the first reported U.S. death from the disease on Feb. 29 in Washington.
