Washington state recently extended its stay-at-home order to early May. Democratic Gov. Jay Insleethat two conditions would have to exist before the state could reopen its economy:"No. 1, we have to drive down the number of infections so they're as close to zero as possible so that we're very confident that there will not be a resurgence that could overwhelm our hospitals," he said.
"Most other countries are doing it nationally," said Polis, a Democrat."I wish that we had more help from the federal government." When each state is responsible for testing, he said, the states end up competing against other states for supplies — which drives prices up."Of course it would be better to have a national testing strategy. There's no question about that.
In contrast to Democrats, the response from Republican governors was more enthusiastic."I think the president and his team are headed in a very good direction,"Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee. Lee said his state would use the same sort of gradual reopening strategy. ."If there's anything that we need to ramp it up and get our state's economy moving again, they stand ready and willing." Reynolds said she was hoping to reopen the state's economy sometime in May, if possible.
No!!! We are staying home until this country and the world economy collapses and we have nothing to go back to! I don’t care the Fauci said we could slowly open things back up. Whatever trump says, disagree and call him an idiot!!
This the TWO PARTY BIAS.... America does NOT have a Democracy!
and yet he's calling for them to be 'liberated' even before that happens. within hours of releasing the 'plan'
Because our grotesque embarrassment of our 'only I' reality show clown does not have a plan! No masks and other PPE = No Testing = No Traceability = No Control = No Economy. Where are the needed masks and other PPE? Where are the needed tests? Where is the traceability?
Reported US coronavirus deaths: Feb. 17: 0 deaths Mar. 17: 111 deaths Apr. 17: 36,997 deaths
So yesterday they went up. So we start counting again at 0.
There is active interest in creating civil conflict in the USA. Whether it is domestic for political reasons or more insidious. Look into it because it is pretty obvious to everyone else watching from the outside. Maybe it is the inevitable decay of the US as a power. Idk
Why would anyone (other than morons) pay attention to him? He has been masquerading as a president for long enough; this is the last year that Americans will tolerate his antics, his advisors incompetence, and his supporters misplaced faith
Let the governors decide and then let the people decide if they want to vote out the worthless ones
A MINIMUM of 1,000,000 PCR antigen (diagnostic) tests are needed PER DAY to implement phases of whitehouse realDonaldTrump’s “Opening Up America Again”. To date: US has capacity to test ONLY 23 people per million of population.
Let repub states open and residents may die. At least the rest of us know what states NOT to go to.
TrumpwantsDeathPanels
Mn cases are increasing but Trump attacks them to open up. What the hell!
Trump has no shame about the pain he causes Americans who are suffering a raging virus and rampant loss of income and services. Instead, he uses the weakness of our battered psyche to try to manipulate the outcome of social response to this pandemic. Danger, Will Robinson!
He has been wrong over this entire crisis why should anyone trust his advice now ?
Do what the dictator tells you to do. His authority is total. He owns you. Bow down to your leader. Even with such strong hints there are still Americans they live in a democracy, it's hilarious.
Of course, because it's really about politics.
Widespread testing first
Trumps full of shit
Not his decision.
It would be nice if it were that easy. It would also be nice if both Democrats and Republicans would stop the pissing contest/focusing on their pet projects and actually work together... but can't have that, people might not remain divided.
You deliver 1,000,000 Test a day to every state! Then Tests for antibodies then Stayes might listen to your Self serving BS !!!
With inadequate testing available how do you know if the cases have actually declined? A case may be mild and not recognized. Or the carrier may have no symptoms.
trump's a lie.
C’mon, you can do better than this. Be straight please.
Please let me say it, screw trump
Governors can either lead the way in reopening or follow as We the People refuse to obey in increasing numbers.
I DGAF what Trump or the governors think or feel; what do medical experts think? How are we any closer to having a better handle on the spread of the virus, how confident are we that the hospitals will survive if the governors 'feel' wrongly?
Hi, I’m mpr, the government gives us money, we are a welfare state radio, but we will only tell you what we want you to hear. Because, well, tuff shit.
It will go away like magic ! He has the matrix
How about he lead by example? How about he has a huge party at Mara lago with as many republican friends that he can fit. Show us how safe it is Cheeto man.
yeah, cuz every state is different, bruh.
It is too early. Have some patience and wait a bit longer.
Blue states will do what is right, while the red may choose to be dead.
Not least of which is that the plan was conceived by a witless sociopath.
Clearly Trump knows nothing about this study 'found the virus was 50 to 85 times more common than official figures indicated'!!
What you fear comes upon you. Here In Northern Cal., everyone I talked to want to go back to work,are not afraid,and think all the hysteria is ridiculous. Yes, some places are bad, but not here. Lowe’s was packed today. Many have had it and got through it without hospitalization
Unfortunately - for those of us in Texas - GovAbbott has shown his true potus* colors again. No 'mixed feelings' there...
President Trump states a wildfire MAY not as spreading as fast so everyone take a walk in the woods with gasoline cans in hand.
Hawaii should be opening up in clusters- some of us want to get back to work already
Democrats fear freedom.
there’s a plan?
No state wants to be first.
Use the DPA to produce more Testing! No Testing. No Work. lifelibertyandthepursuitofhappiness
Maybe this headline should emphasize that medical experts advise caution! You’re making it sound like a purely political dispute b/t the president and governors. It’s irresponsible. Trump is asking ppl to rise up against governors and yr complicit
That’s so unfortunate. Why would ANYONE not want to open up the economy? It can be done using “social distancing” and hand washing. Will people still get sick? Yes. But there will not be a strain on our hospitals. Be smart.
This isn't going to end and stop spreading until there's a vaccine!!!
It’s just completely untrue! We don’t have testing so we really can’t know what the true stats are. 4,591 people died yesterday of Covid. the deadliest day so far. Talking about reopening when we are at the peak just doesn’t make sense to me.
FFFFFF this ghoul.
He just does not get it. The reason if there is a decline has to do with the restrictions. Loosen those and the numbers skyrocket again.
One easy way to get a decline is NO TESTING. Bingo bango....what he's wanted all along. Those pesky tests make his number of cases SAD.
No freaking way buster I'm staying isolated you're making a huge f****** mistake!!!
So what is the problem? It has been left up to the states. You are just bullying. Whatever you can do to have readers. Not commercial sponsors. But me from one, having recently donated a car, You have lost me and I'm sure a lot of other people too. No more taxpayer sponsorship.
Every time you hear Trump speak about reopening the economy consider the following:
Didn’t he *just* say that it’s up to the governors to make these calls? Oh wait, I guess it depends what day it is. (For the love of God...)
Fake news
Except we aren’t even close to declining new cases because red state governors are listening to Trump instead of public health experts. GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPDeathCult
First it was Easter. Then May 1st. Then he decided. Then Govs. Now this. By tomorrow it will be a new lie- I mean - story. Just between us, I think Don has gotten too many UV Rays on the tanning bed .... if you know what mean.
Really? They declined because he cut the funding for testing and it dropped 30%, not the cases. Wtf is wrong with this man
He has said it is up to the governors - why is that not your headline?
The governors are in control anyway, so where's the problem? If they want to stay locked down, they can. 🙄😑
Florida’s cases rise everyday but somehow Jacksonville Beach opened today 🤬
Brace yourselves. I hope most of us make it.
who put the governor on the economic engine?
Where’s my f&$king stimulus check you liar!
*GUIDELINES* POTUS Please cut any taxpayer funding from this liberal mouthpiece. Thank you
Republicans are killing Americans to make Trump happy. GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPDeathCult
Yes because President Trump is the World’s expert on COVID-19 so everyone should follow everything he says. All hail the King!!!
Of course.
It’s not Trumps plan it’s the experts plan
Watching the Michigan rally/protest. No wonder the world hates us. Generation after generation of under achievement looking to blame anyone and anything for their short comings.
None of the governors are listening to Trump. That’s probably the best thing they can do right now. The only exception is our idiot governor in Florida.
It's beginning
No thanks Mr President. We’re keeping our state closed until November 3rd.
Trust the president, he knows all the best science. Just ask him.
What a coincidence!
