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.

All three could be weeks away from starting to reopen.
New York will be dead last, just like their school results.
The only thing New York leads in is:
1) Covid Deaths
2) New outflow of population
3) highest taxes in the union
Depends on your definition of reopening.
Here in PA it’s just a slight relaxation in the type of businesses that may be open. And only in counties where deer outnumber people.
husband went mushroom picking (for naught) and is going to do some chain saw work at a friends cabin tomorrow....

YAY, We’re NUMBER 1 !!
In Massoftwoshits, Governor Charlie Faker has ordered everyone to wear face masks when they go out in public.
I make few trips out, I have no masks and wasn’t looking to get any. I guess I will be testing the enforcement of this decree of the chief commandant.
Just got back from the tax office. Not the usual first of the month crowd. Got the inspection earlier in the week.
We were told that Newsome was opening retail, schools and daycares, while he was closing the Orange County beaches and State Parks.
You didn’t mention WA State, where the governor has not opened anything , except parks, that people were already using, without permission.
Here in North Carolina we continue to stay locked down under the orders of our Dem Gov. All states with worse stats around us are opening except of course Virginia. My husband drove to Georgia today to get a haircut. The most expensive haircut ever.
Except that Cali Gov Newsom’s “beach closure” orders ain’t sticking. Been watching beach cams this morning at Newport and Huntington, and surfer dudes having a good time.

That's what Arizona is requiring, and it won't be allowed until Monday. Why are we listed as "reopening" today?
I would love to see everyone open up their businesses and give the middle finger to our dictator in chief, Inslee.
The RAT can’t bust everyone !
RESIST !!
We are now entering the herd immunity phase. It is the most important, imho.
Get out and live your lives. The spread will take care of itself. As I understand it, the more who get corona, the better off the vulnerable will be.
Throw in a ban on fracing.
Especially since Cuomo just closed all schools, including Upstate, until the end of the school year and says he’s not sure he’s “going to permit” summer sessions.
This is nuts.
So much for regional openibgs. PA and CT opening without Cuomo. To tie themselves to NY would be suicide.
Governor Northam of Virginia seems determined to drive Virginia completely into the ground and out do Cuomo. Small businesses and freedom in Virginia are being totally destroyed.

Protesters flock to Huntington Beach following state-ordered OC beach closures
Some states are going to extort bailout money from the federal government. Our tax money to their lousy run states.
They will extend shutdowns to create a need too big for DC to ‘allow’.
The old ‘too big to fail’ condition will be brought into the political arena.
Heck, it’s already there.
I can’t say what I think should be done.
BS article. Minnesota is shut down until at least May 18. Probably until memorial day. Walz is such a candy ass.
