The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that around 19 or 20 states might be ready to reopen their economies by May 1, weeks after dozens of governors implemented statewide stay-at-home orders to reduce the spread of the CCP virus.
“There are a number of counties within this country that have not experienced really any coronavirus despite testing,” Dr. Robert Redfield, the head of the agency, said in an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” this week.
“There are a number of states—19, 20 states—that really have had limited impact from it. So I think we will see some states that are, the governors feel that they’re ready, we’re poised to assist them with that reopening,” he said.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he believes some states will be ready to reopen by the first day of May, saying he would make an announcement on new guidelines Thursday. Earlier this week, the president said he’s close to coming up with a final plan for ending the country’s shutdown amid the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus pandemic.
However, Redfield cautioned that the United States should brace for another outbreak of the CCP virus, a type of novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, next year.
“I think we have to assume this is like other respiratory viruses, and there will be a seasonality to it,” he added in the “Good Morning America” interview.
As a result, the country has to start ramping up testing capacity now and implement other control measures including contact tracing to prepare for another significant outbreak, he said.
“The CDC is science-based, data-driven, [so] until we see it, we don’t know for certain [there will be a resurgence],” Redfield remarked.

Which states?
I’d like to hope SC is one.
The Dudley Do Nothing Governor needs a dose of caffeine.
I doubt that people are going to wait that long. They’ll be in the streets before the end of April, in a big way.
President Trump....OPEN UP THE DAMN COUNTRY!!~! THIS IS INSANE!!
PEOPLE DIE ALL THE TIME!!
Not Ohio. I doubt Dr Amy Acton will allow it.
you just know the msm has their headlines already primed to go when folks still get sick after the ‘all clear’ is given- they will blame President Trump- claiming he opened the country far too soon and is causing deaths-
IF he keeps the country ‘closed’ they’ll accuse him of fear mongeuring and destroying the economy
Whee!
Two more weeks of this nonsense.
Let’s roll, Texas!
Dr Amy bites the bag!
Remember those commercials; Open Open Open? That’s America right now!

Gretchen should seriously think about ramping up the opening.
Cuomo just shut down NYS until May 15th.
At the earliest.
I won’t print what I’m thinking.
Again, why is any bureaucrat in any distant department or agency in Washington DC calling the shots, controlling the lives of people potentially 3,000 miles away? State governors have the responsibility and should be accountable for actions in their own states. This is where I disagree with Trump.
No hope for us in Mi either. I expect Half Whit to pull back on the outrages crap she put in last week. That way she can claim she started to open up. It will be a lie and we will still be under house arrest.

Here in Minnesota the weather is just starting to get nice. It will be in the 60’s the rest of the week.
You can keep the people contained when it is cold but once it gets nice...good luck with that.
That would be a rational course of action, but frankly I think she’s too stupid to do that.
HalfWitmer can't.
If she could she'd have gotten the loud message sent yesterday.
I doubt Cali-unicorn-ia will be among them. If Gruesome has his way, things will begin to loosen up around May 1st alright.
May 1, 2021!
