38 US States Have Reopened or Are Reopening Soon
Epoch Times ^ | 05/01/2020 | Zachary Steiber

Thirty-eight states have started reopening or are planning to reopen soon from the near-total economic lockdown implemented to try to slow the spread of the CCP virus, according to an Epoch Times tally.

Businesses in 21 states have already started reopening or will be allowed to welcome customers back on May 1.

Alabama, Georgia, Montana, and Tennessee are among the states that have already started reopening. Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming are among the states loosening restrictions effective Friday.

The other states that have reopened or are reopening on May 1 are: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Vermont.

Another 17 governors are planning to ease restrictions in the coming days, including Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak, and Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf.

The governors in that category have either firmed up the first phase of reopening in their states or outlined plans to have the states start to reopen on a certain date.

The other states with planned reopenings on May 4 or later are Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.

Letting retailers reopen but restricting them to curbside pickup and delivery isn’t counted as easing restrictions in the tally.

Some of the states still have most restrictions in place.

The 12 other governors are resisting calls to start relaxing their orders relating to businesses.

The only reason Wolf’s loosening up a little from Cuomo is the backlashing he’s gotten from the citizens of Pa. Pennsylvania’s do not see themselves under Oligarch Cuomo’s Tri-State Kingdom.

Yep, the Marcellus doesn’t stop at the state line. I suppose one day, your heirs will reap its bounty.

We are now entering the herd immunity phase.

We are nowhere close to that, Herd immunity would require a majority of people to be immune, and there have now been around a million cases in the US, 3 million worldwide. The stories about millions upon millions of undetected cases are just that, stories without any evidence to back them up. Not only that, but those stories contradict both biology and mathematics.

Meanwhile Oregon put it’s Emergency Powers in place till July, no end in sight here, perhaps some hope on the horizon in a couple of weeks for the counties with only a few cases on the other side of the Mountains.

"Maryland gov is talking 12/31/20"

What a horror that would be. Civilization as we know it would end. Voting would no longer be by the ballot box.

Looking at what they’re doing in Ohio, I am not sure I’d classify that as “reopening”.

Our primary has already been switched from April to June, mail in only with the promise that one poll would be open per county.

So screwed.

Your right. What they need to tell everyone, every business, every Church, every establishment that has customers, clients, etc., this: You MAY open if you want to open. You should hold it at 50% and keep people apart. Churches are not held to 50%; how to you tell me I cannot enter yet you can? Wrong answer. We BOTH enter IF we want to. Our choice. Our chance. Wear the stupid mask if you desire. No hand shakes, hugs, etc. Just talk to each other from a couple of feet. You ARE NOT REQUIRED to go to any of these establishments if you don't want too!!! HA HA. You can stay home, your right. You can go, your right. Let Americans make their own decisions.

We USED TO HAVE FREEDOM AND RIGHTS, but, JUST like the Bible said: "Peace and Safety", they will all cry for it, BUT "Sudden Destruction" will fall upon them. THAT IS EXACTLY what people are all crying out, peace, safety, protect us, guard us, tell us WHAT TO DO, direct us OLE GREAT AND WONDERFUL LYING GOVERNMENT!!!

NONE, NONE, NONE, NONE of the stupid models they claim are going to happen, HAVE NOT COME CLOSE!!! Rush was giving details of a doctor that said more people are going to die, something like 77,000 per week I think it was, from suicides, etc., for every One Percent of Unemployment!! We are over 30 million people out of work. Over 20% unemployment. 20% times 77,000 is far greater than what the MEDIA reported would die from this crap.

This is not a PANDEMIC, this was a PLANNEDDEMIC!!! Planned by the Red Chinese and the One World Government elites. I have changed my thinking on all this crap, the more I read and hear. I am not one of those conspiracy theorists types. I read and hear and determine in my own mine what I think and it is not like that. But, I am strongly coming to believe there is WAY MORE than what they have told us. I think Trump caved to all the pressure of the health care types in Sodom on the Potomac, sadly. I hope he gets up the strength to tell this mob to kiss his round @$$ and open up the nation before all is lost and I think we are near that now. It cannot stay shut down much longer or there is no going back to life as we once knew it. I can go on with this, but I will shut up. Makes me burning mad.

“During today’s update, WPXI asked Dr. Levine why Allegheny County was not included in the first wave of reopening.
Her response was that, while Allegheny is meeting the 50 cases per 100,000 people threshold, the population density is so high that there could easily be a spike in transmission.”

We are entering the phase where we acquire herd immunity. There’s really no avoiding it

COVID19 is a socialist tool now.

a grand extortion racket ( notice it only affects small business,.Hmmmm imagine that)

We will never be able to vote in Oregon again, best we can do is mail in our mandatory mail in opinion "ballots" and rely on appointed socialist operatives to count them behind closed doors

the definition of socialism is "absolute government control" and this virus BS is their most glorious victory since the New Deal

No, we’re entering the phase where the socialists seize the vote counting system by demanding mail in only ballots counted by appointed County recorders
