President Trump announced on Thursday the White House’s plan for eventually rolling back social distancing measures and reopening the country’s economy in several phases -- depending on location -- amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The “Opening Up America Again” plan was signed off on by the president’s medical advisers, Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Robert Redfield, and will be a “data-driven” approach with governors taking the helm in deciding, down to a county-level, how they will reopen their states, the White House said.
"This is a gradual process," Trump said. "Throughout the process, citizens will still be called on to use all the weapons in this war." Democrats' reactions were mixed. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement, "The White House's vague and inconsistent document does nothing to make up for the president's failure to listen to the scientists and produce and distribute national rapid testing." Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said, "I am pleased to see the federal government's guidance follows a data-driven, science-based approach, similar to Oregon’s framework.
On Wednesday, hundreds of cars, trucks and SUVs descended on Michigan’s state capital as part of a noisy protest against Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s social-distancing restrictions that critics saidy have gone too far. Similar protests unfolded in Virginia, Wyoming, Kentucky and Ohio over the last week with more planned in Maryland, Missouri, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York and New Hampshire.
Trump has since walked back that claim and said he would leave it to governors to determine when and how to revive activity in their states.Numerous states across the nation have already begun developing plans on how to reopen and forming regional coalitions to determine how best to get their economies back up.The governors of California, Oregon and Washington said health outcomes and science, not politics, would drive decision-making ono when to reopen.
