coming up at 8:00, it's "shark tank." finally tonight, a few thoughts about what really matters. today is day 60 of the shelter at home order, two months on sunday. two months like we have never experienced in our lives. we hope like we never will again. that's the question, isn't it? no one can know what will happen as the country moves to reopen. no expert that i have heard believes it will not result in a surge of new cases and deaths. it's a calculated risk, a balancing act to protect lives but also rescue livelihoods and an economy that have been decimated by the shutdown. even as we move to reopen, it's up to each one of us to stay smart to stay safe, cover our faces, social distance and wash our hands. this phase two of the reopening project is a welcome change in so many respects. many see it as a light at the end of what has been a very long and very difficult tunnel.

what really matters is that we proceed with caution so that life doesn't become an oncoming train. i love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook. that's this edition of abc7 news. look for breaking news when you wish on the abc7 news app. we appreciate your time. >> have a great night and a wonderful weekend.
