Governors are beginning to announce timelines for relaxing strict measures taken to mitigate the coronavirus. Many states are dropping stay-at-home orders beginning May 1, while several states have not yet announced an end to restrictions.
At the federal level, President Trump last week issued guidelines that will allow governors to take a phased and deliberate approach to reopening their individual states.
Governors will be empowered to tailor an approach that meets the diverse circumstances of their own states, Trump said. And some states will be able to open up sooner than others.
Health officials are warning states not to reopen businesses or allow large gatherings too quickly, for fear of a resurgence of COVID-19 cases.

That we agree
What about Washington, D.C.?
My life has been unaffected except for being able to work from home, saving a three hour commute every day and a tank of gas every two days. And I’m interviewing for another job on Wednesday.
If I lived an urban lifestyle, this thing would be crippling to me. But I moved into the sticks 9 years ago for a reason. I wanted to be more autonomous. I am.
Well, there’s always Biden.
California wants masks to continue in restaurants. So how do you put your food into your body? Up the old wazzoo?
I’m in UA (Upper Alabama) and about the same here. Probably going to spend it on a new pistol (been 20 years since my last one) and the rest will go into the new 60x40 shop building I’ve been planning for the last 6 years. Dirt work starting tomorrow! Just doing my part to keep the economy going!
Technically it is federal in the sense that the three phase sequence was developed and will be overseen by FEMA. Individual states decide when they are ready to enter phase one, but make no mistake, this is a FEMA operation.
This is no longer an issue about public safety, its now all about how much control government can get over us and get away with.
Abbott won’t reopen until June, gutless.
Oh, you’re one of those
Started to flame you and re-read your post...the weak governors will try to clutch trump’s leg like a lost child to try to avoid blame for their own ineptness...you are correct.
The “wazzoo” would be the reverse of the normal process. I don’t think it would work too well.
And we have Sean Hannity, who I think is losing it, advocating for people in the stands at NFL football games to all be wearing masks, pulling them down long enough to take a bite of their hot dog and then putting the mask back in place. Yeah, that will work great, Sean.
Open up the entire country today.
Im with you 100%. A few will die, America will survive.
