Deopening is the process by which stupid government leaders think that COVID-19 can be beat with a positive attitude and pretending it's not there, opening their jurisdictions far before scientists would suggest it, and getting so hammered with COVID-19 cases as a result that that they must now re-close down their economies such that methodical controlled opening would have likely prevented.
Political leaders who think the stress of COVID-19 is best dealt with by their constituents all "lightening up" and going to prematurely re-opened bars to have a drink will find themselves in need of closing such establishments again (deopening them,) as COVID rages, and not being able to open them again for a period that's quite longer than where controlled scientific re-opening was practiced.
