This nation was totally shut down for ONE reason. That is what we were told at the time. That reason was to "flatten the curve", meaning to enable time for our medical capabilities to catch up with the need for treatment. There is ample evidence that even in our worst hit area of New York City that this in fact has been accomplished. The USS Comfort, provided as an overflow hospital option to the city in the heat of the battle, has been sent packing and according to New York is no longer needed.
Across the country, hospitals have plenty of ventilators available and beds to treat those who are infected. We also have found the drugs that provide treatment for the infected to the degree that most who catch the virus will be cured in less than a week.
The goal originally presented to this nation has been accomplished. Now they want to shift the goal post by using the issue of "testing" to keep this nation shackled. Baloney. Set us free Mr Trump. If not, you will lose many of us for continuing this unnecessary charade at our nation's expense.
That this virus was politicized by the left does not mean that THEY get to control it's response forever. Trump was backed into a corner with this and has played along but now he needs to do the right thing for the people of this nation. End the shutdown. There has been enough carnage. He has a limited window of opportunity to do so himself and be given the credit for doing so before the masses themselves simply disregard their government, including him, in ALL facets.

The nation was never shut down. Most STATES were, but 7-8 of them were not. The President went out of his way NOT to exceed his authority on this point.
The people that are comfortably well off are the ones screaming loudest to keep the shutdown in place. They will have to change their minds soon.
People will adjust.
The Fakedemic gulag gates DO need to open, but I would NEVER EVER repeat NEVER vote for anyone on the Communist Left.
NEVER !
“If not, you will lose many of us...”
Where are you going’s to go?
Are the many aware you speak for them?
“They will have to change their minds soon.”
Why?
Amen....curve will never be flat enough for libs.
The problem is that he let the governors exceed their authority.
Trying to keep economy collapsed as long as possible to help Biden
Fauci and Gates are hinting at lockdown until there (ever) is a vaccine AND everybody has bought it.

The President didn’t close us down and he doesn’t open us up.
It’s up to the governors, and different states have different situations.
Nebraska can easily open before New York for example.
Yep. Won’t...work.
Today Trump said he “strongly disagrees” with Georgia’s governor’s plan to start reopening the economy this week.
Trump must have made Fauci so happy.
He didn’t “let” them do anything. Those governors are still accountable to their own constituents, and many of them are likely to end up facing lawsuits in Federal court over what they’ve done. The DOJ has already begun filing briefs on behalf of the plaintiffs in some cases.

Except that they won’t open things up, if Trump jumps on them the way he jumped on the governor of Georgia today.
And on down to mayors and other officials

Trying to shut down the country and prohibit assembly or protest in an election year.
