Dr. Jonathan Samet, dean of the Colorado School of Public Health, told NBC News the state runs"a risk of a second surge of the epidemic" no matter when restrictions are relaxed.
"The challenge for states like Colorado, I think all states quite frankly, is that governors have to make a decision that includes the various types of economies and different type of demographics across the state," said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, a Democrat."For us in the Denver metro area with our population size and density, and variety and diversity of activities, and potential for large gatherings, we didn't feel as if we were ready.
"Otherwise, if we can't succeed in doing that on an ongoing basis, the stay-at-home was for nothing," he added."It doesn't accomplish anything, if it's not replaced with practices that are sustainable for the weeks and months that it's likely to remain with us."
Gov Polis is a Democrat so MSM and Dems are out-contorting the Indian Rubber man to approve Colorado re-opening Hypocrites
Bravo!!
It’s Colorado. Why are you writing titles like clickbait. You’re the news I would have read the article anyway but it’s so irritating that you publish titles like this
Much like this virus idiocy knows no political bias.
Because Polis wants to help heal his state. He is no idiot
There’s not a single retailer whose business plan allows for a 25% limitation on capacity. Private offices would make more sense The Republican Party is pushing retail & personal services to create the illusion of a normal society. It’s a deadly election stunt.
Who's winston was he smoking? 🤷♂️😂
And just like that, Covid is now a fear tool for the presidential election. How about if I reported Democratic Governor's are bankrupting the hard working middle class by keeping states closed. Not to mention the whack job in Oregon who has no reason to extend her state.
States that don’t reopen won’t get federal money. I’m tellin ya! Their economies will collapse. Their pensions will collapse. They’re playing a dangerous game of chicken.
I live in CO and don’t know anyone who thinks it’s appropriately time to reopen. Voted for Polis and won’t again. A hashtag isn’t a plan, or testing, or clarity, or leadership.
Are tattoo parlors really that vital? I mean if you're poor and unable to pay your bills are we really advising you to get a tattoo instead of paying rent, buying groceries, utilities and other necessities? AOC IlhanMN
Nice to know that stupid is bi-partisan.
Much of what is open is decided by county and city government! GovofCO has kept Colorado informed with facts. The only problem we have had is republicans, paid protesters by trump and people not following guidelines! GOPDeathCult VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
MarieBo02802331 its a big mistake but theres no choice.
Divisive headline
He's trying to save lives, thank God some people are still trying!
Gee...what a surprise... and cases start jumping... seriously
Republicans care about safety and liberty. Democrats care about power over others.
Profit above People. This is economic violence that will lead to a Genocide.
Otherwise known as actually following the Constitution.
Polis is a clown. Such an embarrassment to this Colorado girl. He is responsible for the upcoming resurgence in this state and the resulting deaths of many:( Can’t wait to get him out of office. $$$ over people
Good. We need to reopen
Because a man thought to protect life and people has broken under the pressure of $$$. Participation in the coming battle of $$$ vs life will now become a spectator sport.
Since most protesters are Republican “Trumpers” and most of the people that are going out without masks and congregating are also Trumpers ... then I guess there will be less Republican voters come this fall ... Democrats win!
Slow, steady, and methodical. Save lives, save jobs.

Restarting economic activities is fair. But to justify it, please dont compare influenza mortality with that of covid. Because please find how many first responders, nurses, doctors died due to flu in last few years and this year due to covid. Are those numbers even comparable?
NBC Aka Nazi Belligerent China
TN is and it's crazy. I had to go to Walmart yesterday but when I got there people were acting like nothing had happened or was still going on. Simply the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
i say reopen the country keep the eldery and people with health issues inside thats the fair way
Gov. Polis is a man whom apparently knows how to stand his ground in the face of adversity. I am a Registered (I) Voter. I side with neither Dem's nor The G.O.P. Instead? I vote my conscience and offer credit where it is due.
It’s not about politics people, it’s about lives
They better order body bags now. So much winning.
We’ll bust my britches A GD Democrat with a Brain Guess the MSM and DNC will Crucify him soon....bet he’ll knuckle under and reverse course No doubt in my mind
And we will pay the price, sadly
lol just what I expected. For them, their stupid money and economy are more important than millions of lives.
if someone is scared, always can stay at home. its not china. no one will drag you out. and let others live their lives
Yup, they are killing their own voters. I wonder how they think they will get reelected with 1/3 of their voters dead?
Thank God for republicans. Dems want us locked down until November 3rd.
With inadequate testing. Our Mayor is managing it better. Just remember, Denver is only 1 city in the metro area. There are rural areas all over the state with single digit deaths. No telling how many cases. Denverites need to stay home. Flatten the curve.
A rare Dem suicide.
😡😡😡😡
Republican governors are placing their personal politics ahead of the health and safety if their people and that is very wrong
Wherever and however it's done, I hope they do it in small steps and carefully.
