US reopening will be slow, cautious and very different across the huge country.

President Donald Trump wants to get the hobbled US economy back on its feet, but guidelines he announced for reopening the country are notably cautious and unspecific. So what comes next?As recently as April 8, Trump was saying"it would be nice to open with a big bang." Instead, the world's biggest economy will put a tentative toe in the water.

The guidelines suggest three vague phases for relaxing social distancing and opening up travel and public gatherings. No timelines are given. With Trump standing back, this means the onus will rest with people like Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York, Ron DeSantis in Florida, Gavin Newsom in California, and Greg Abbott in Texas.

On Friday, hundreds of protesters were reported to have gathered outside the home of the Minnesota governor. On Thursday, other frustrated Americans protested in Virginia.
