The first such group to be announced came Monday on the East Coast. Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said his state, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Rhode Island and Massachusetts each plan to name a public health and economic official to a regional working group. The chief of staff of the governor of each state also will be a part of the group, which will begin work immediately to design a reopening plan.
Any states who want to join are welcome to join, Cuomo said, adding that he is in touch with Massachusetts.The goal of the group is to create a plan to re-open each state in a way that limits new outbreaks of coronavirus. Among the plans are contact tracing, treatment and social distancing measures. Cuomo noted that health officials in his state believe they have reached a plateau in cases, which he hailed as relatively good news.

Good for you, I am so proud of all the Governors who have the spine needed to stop the spread. Too bad we didn't vote one in the WH.
I have a different idea. How about--we don't reopen until Trump releases his tax returns?
What coincidence the states that vote Dem, the party that is begging for a recession.
Hum, I thought they were forming a new country to address the situation facing our 'country'. With a lack of leadership in the existing 'administration', they have no other choice. Sort of a weird revolution...
