I don’t know where you get that from the headline. The governors make the call for the state. I am involved in the reopening planning for a major international company, and the plan is once the government green lights reopening, then we evaluate our readiness, with a slow phased approach. The green light is the beginning of the decision making on dates, not the final word.
Read it again...
Govs make decisions “AFTER” lifting of “RESTRICTIONS” implying they had no choice. My idiot TN gov uses those terms. He says “orders” and once said lockdown “laws”.
The perception is it’s all federally ordered.
