Is June 15 a red-letter day for California?

June 15 is not just a number. It’s also a Tuesday.

But this year, Californians know it as much more than another date on the calendar. It’s the day the state will finally fully reopen after 15 months of coronavirus restrictions.

Remember way back in the post-winter-surge recovery, when Gov. Gavin Newsom set June 15 as the reopening target date, and everyone said, How can he be so sure?

Those who weren’t saying, Why not tomorrow instead?, that is.

So, here it comes. As we enter June, was the governor’s calendar target about right?

That’s our Question of the Week for readers.

Do you feel as if your life will take a change for the better next Tuesday, with businesses — not to mention Angel and Dodger stadiums and other outdoor entertainment venues — able to open at full capacity?

Are you going to make a beeline for your local movie theater to catch a summer blockbuster that just wouldn’t work on the small screen in your living room?

Are you excited about your children and grandchildren being able to look forward to summer activities and a return to their school campuses in the fall?

Or, with the recent heartening plummets in both COVID-19 infections and in deaths — the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says California has the lowest level of coronavirus community transmission in the nation — and consequent loosening of restrictions, had you already been feeling totally reopened?

Is the worst of a disease with such huge public health and economic impact on us assuredly over?

Or is there every chance of an upsurge once again, at least until most everyone is vaccinated?

Will there be other global pandemics in our lifetime of similar tragic impact? If so, what can we do to be better prepared the next time around?

Even with all the grief we’ve known, all the Californians who have lost their lives, have you learned important lessons in the bargain?
