starting our life again,” said President Donald Trump on April 16th, as he unveiled the federal government’s plan to reopen America. The next day Greg Abbott, Texas’s governor, echoed the president’s optimism. “We have demonstrated that we can corral the coronavirus,” he said. Mr Abbott is gradually reopening his state; his stay-at-home order will expire on April 30th.
The handmaiden of eagerness is partially justified optimism. Just one month ago an epidemiological model warned that covid-19 could kill 2.2m Americans. Mr Trump has said that keeping American deaths under 200,000 would constitute “a very good job.” Thus far about 47,000 have died. Some hotspots have begun bringing the disease to heel. There seem to be fewer sirens screaming towards Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, the centre of New York’s outbreak.
America also has a shortage of contact-tracers—people who investigate where someone caught the disease and who else he may have infected. Tom Frieden, who headed the Centres for Disease Control until 2017, believes America needs 300,000. It currently has around 2,200. Some states and cities have begun training more, but not nearly enough . America also lacks places to isolate the infected so they do not spread the virus to their families and neighbours.
America is going to be destroyed, don't they know there's something called second wave? idiotic president and equally idiotic are his supporters citizens favoring money over life. Now Americans will become carriers to rest of the world in few months from now.
Experiences from China that it never choose to half-in, half-out. Joking it is that nearly 300,000 cases occurred in America then trump called it was the time for locking down and nearly 1M cases then Government appeals that it is time for opening. No plans, no rational actions.
unscientific! A few new idioms, oxymorons and puns for 2020. Capt. INCOMPETENT (aka Capt. Incoherent)
Are you purposely trying to obfuscate the issues? It is sheer “news fakery” to headline an article on states opening up business and immediately shift focus to the number of cases or deaths. If you think you opinion is worthy, put it on the editorial page, not in the news!
Uzaylıların geliyor olmasıda gündemi değiştirmek için mi?
Well we are about to find out!
What is this approach? Stupid. This approach is stupid. Btw, look at infection and fatality rates - they are highest in the south, where the easing of restrictions are happening first. (And where the states don’t want to pay unemployment).
A non-committed approach doesn’t work in any situation
Who should be responsible for this？
Land of the free I guess. They just do what they dam well please and dam the consequences.
Why have Guidelines if People don't follow them? In this Day & Age; Guidelines - - if they are good ones - - need to be Mandates.
Another example of how realDonaldTrump stirs unrest and foments anger. How can POTUS encourage states to “liberate”, but yet these states have not met the federal guidelines *that he established* for reopening? Makes no sense, inoverhishead GOP
Hospitals in those states are going to get crushed.
This is a terrible mistake, expect the Covid_19 deaths in the US to surpass 100000 in the immediate future!

Call me crazy but maybe some sort of federal response would be useful. FakePresident

Trump needs to denounce them.
Admit it... we do have the leader we collectively deserve now. No pun intended! Looking forward to be given another chance to PEACEFULLY chose. We can DETERMINE what we'll have to live with besides what is known to being such a disgrace whereby world leadership is a Must.
What is becoming evident is that the calls for reopening are all about protecting insurers from having to cover claims. If the state says reopen and you don't because of the risk, the liability is that of the business owner - not the insurer.
Coronavirus lockdowns are being protested by Americans.
That’s cause the guidelines are overly restrictive and ridiculous. We need to re open where we can

Once again the forces of stupidity win over the forces of rationality!!
I thought they're superpowers in everything
Thanks to flat earther Trump...
This is a lie.
It is a huge country. It isn't easy. It is not a totalitarian state. A treatment is needed for the horrible effects. Then life can resume. Communist China unleashed this on the planet. They have ruined the worlds normal lives. China did this.
How does this relate to Willie?
Is that a mural of Willie Nelson?
