The US has a tradition of election winners taking office a few months after the election that goes back to the days of coaches and horses. Presidential inaugurations, for example, were in March (or later) until 1937.
It is less problematic for legislative contests, given that the legislature is rarely in session during the interim, but is obviously more problematic in a case like this (though it isn't close to being the worse thing about partisan elections for state supreme court justices).

Indoors is dangerous - even current distancing measures not enough. Why are people being sent back to work?

They could have T-cell immunity though. A German study showed that a bunch of people with no detectable antibodies were immune anyway, through their T-cells.

The policy implications of that are not terribly clear, though.
There will be proposals for some kind of "immunity passports" for those with positive antibody tests, but there will be pushback as long as the immunity question is uncertain.
By the same token, if the positive antibody counts for broad populations remain in the five percent range (as they did in France's first national analysis), any policy grounded in herd immunity is going to be a non-starter.

Very odd Irish daily update today - cases were a staggeringly high 426, but it transpired a hospital "in the south" hadn't reported up to 300 cases since the start of the outbreak. The county data reflected the normal figures, rather than the gross total, so hard to know where exactly it was.

Meanwhile, the Diocese of Kerry is considering opening churches for private prayer, but people advised not to sit down, or touch anything:
