Just days after the media was busy blasting President Donald Trump for not implementing a federal lockdown and instead leaving those decisions up to the states, the media is now busy blasting President Trump for stating that he could end all lockdowns before the states decide to. It’s nice to see the media rally to defend state rights for once, though unfortunately it’s in the context of them being total hypocrites.
The states will ultimately decide when to re-open, and most actually do already have at timeline in place that span from April 15th to June 10th. Only six states haven’t yet given a timeframe for when they plan on lifting restrictions, perhaps because they’d likely be subject to change regardless.
As for those that have set dates, Forbes Magazine’s Suzanne Rowan Kelleher has the list. Note that all lifting on restrictions will be done on a rolling basis, not at once overnight.

Whichever state is yours – it certainly feels like this can’t end soon enough.
Don’t bank this. Some of these are just the end dates of current house arrest orders. It does not necessarily mean it won’t be extended. For example here in Mi Half Whit wanted mid June but the GOP legislature said no so she took as much as she could get and made then even more restrictive. She will push to extend it, that you can bank.

The days of the Speak Easy have returned.
He’s running a Barb Easy.
Supposed to have his press conference about this in a few minutes. I doubt he will open it up today too.
California and Minnesota are mid May.
I am sure they are looking at ways to extend it too.
The Minnesota Democrat governor wants to reopen on monday, May 15.
The fishing opener is saturday, May 13 when 500,000 people go fishing that weekend.
That governor deliberately blocked them and the resorts and hotels etc from making their biggest payday of the year.
BTW Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is another radical, a thug.

Idaho governor just extended ours until April 30th.
I heard that through word of mouth. I hope it's true. He's enjoying his power trip way too much. If things open up in May it doesn't seem to make sense that he closed school buildings until the end of the academic year. People seemed to be tired of his directives. We see a lot of people without masks - a bridge too far given the direction of the new case numbers.
According to the Governor of NYS, the lifting of restrictions will be a joint effort between NY, NJ, CT,PA and Del . The dates in your post for these states don’t go with that plan. Did it change?
Yup...I’m giving him an extra big tip, too!
It makes sense.
Texas isn’t going to happen on 4/30; Austin just extended their school closures through 5/8 (meaning a 5/11 opening), and the rest of the state is sure to follow. San Antonio was already closed until 5/4.
yeah IDAHO!
Maine was extended to May 15th yesterday.
and I will add, I’ll probably wear my mask for a while, especially if I go to a crowded area....and I’ll do good hand washing....
well that sucks...just read that Idaho will be on lockdown until April 30th....
Governor Mills Extends State of Civil Emergency As Maine Continues to Combat COVID-19 - April 14
As the State continues to respond to COVID-19, Governor Janet Mills today signed a proclamation extending Maine's state of civil emergency (PDF) for another thirty days through May 15, 2020. The original state of civil emergency was scheduled to expire tomorrow, April 15, 2020.
The original state of civil emergency order was mooted weeks ago, there is no reason to bring it up. Without yesterday's extension to May 15, the IN FORCE EO, EO-28 & EO-28A, would have expired April 30th.
No, Governor Gruesome announced that he’d lift the House Arrest order on April 31.
Rumor is that VA is extending to August. Send help.
Most hospitals are mostly empty here, not understanding why it is being extended.
Gov. Abbot is usually not a power hungry type at all, can usually be counted on to be a more liberty loving type. Would like to know what pressure is being exerted right now to keep extending this.
My wife is a 35 year survivor of Brest Cancer and she ignore the advise of all the doctors and had both breasts remove and no chemo or radiation.
At this rate NEVER.
Mark my words, all will extend to May 15th.
