Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, Houston have been open for months. You might have meant first major blue state city to open. :-)

Phoenix has been open for months as well, Ducey dropped the mask deal earlier this year and things have been pretty much normal. Up here in Prescott nothing really changed much at all during this ordeal, lol.

It's the first major US city to open,(i.e. New York or Los Angeles)
They're not comparing it to the smaller cities which have less people,like the ones you noted above.

..and lets keep Politics out of this conversation please.

Impossible.

The entire thing was about politics(and still is). Never let a crisis go to waste.

Are you sure? If you are looking at cities purely by population, Chicago wasn't the first "major" city to open.

According to the most recent census Chicago is only 2.7 million people. (Edit the 2019 census is incorrect depending on where you look, I see it differs from 2.7 to as much as 8)

Phoenix is 4.5 million people and we've been open for months, 5th largest city in the US according to google.

Maybe it's the news in your area keeping you guys isolated from the rest of the country happenings??

What constitutes a major city these days anyway?

I think I found the answer. Google to the rescue

Major city defined by population:

major city means a zone with a population concentration in excess of 250 000 inhabitants or, where the population concentration is 250 000 inhabitants or less, a population density per km2 which justifies the need for ambient air quality to be assessed and guaranteed;


I think that opens it up to a lot of cities across the US that I'm sure have been open for quite some time now.
