With adequate testing available, there’s no reason to shut the whole country down.

There is going to be enormous pressure on governors when there are spikes in infections and deaths from the virus. To Republican governors, the media will be screaming about them not caring about people dying.

We’re already seeing the beginnings of that narrative play out in Georgia and Florida, where GOP governors have to face stories every day about how “dangerous” their actions are.

For Trump, it plays into his re-election campaign. With the stock market booming this past week on promising news of a vaccine, the economy has a real chance of roaring back to life. While Biden sits in his basement conducting a virtual campaign, Trump has already begun to hit the trail. Soon, his signature rallies will begin and the battle will be joined in earnest.

With or without, there will be no political will to shut the country down.
