I have no idea what the pattern is here. It's not particularly correlated with how bad the outbreak was, either currently, or at its peak (if the country already peaked; some haven't). But it's interesting that the US is in the low-to-middle-end of the pack.
Certainly *some* correlation between wealth and desire to reopen, with poorer countries wanting to re-open sooner, but it's a noisy one, e.g. Mexico is against re-opening Germany is relatively for it.
I also find it interesting that American liberals are generally wary of reopening but (given that American liberals are generally fond of Europe) Europeans are more equivocal and Sweden is the most "YOLO, herd immunity!" place in the world.
One theory is that countries follow the tone set by their leaders. Most places *currently* have popular leaders who got a COVID-19 approval-ratings bounce. In the US, however, Trump is unpopular and distrusted on COVID. So people oppose re-opening because he seems to be for it.
