This is just a signal to the states to not overshoot everyone else by too much so they don’t an too much of an advantage over other states in the region for things like tourism.
He said the same thing about shutting things down but not every state did and rightfully so. Just simple precautions. Sometimes Trump does play politics. The funny thing is he does it better than most politicians.
In hindsight no state needed to lockdown; just focus on the hotspots like elder care centers and those with other health issues. Everyone else should have just kept truckin’.
If Walmart, gas station employees, health care workers, and so many other could be ‘labeled’ essential then everyone was essential. Wear masks or whatever but don’t stop.
Trump was played as were the rest of us. This virus isn’t even contagious when someone who has it is asymptomatic. Yep; we were played/scammed/cheated. Who does that? Yep; the dems hand in hand (no gloves) with the Chinese did that. The payback for that should be as severe as it gets.
Good summary
