President Trump wants to reopen the economy by Easter.

Blue state governors with shelter in place orders have everything shut down till May 1, with further guidance after that. How does this resolve itself?

I think this is a goal, it's not a hard date. Certainly not for hot spots like NYC or NOLA.

I have said this from the moment he shut down the economy blue state governors would still keep things closed. It will be interesting to see how each state feels.

I have yet to see a poll out asking if people want to go back to work by Easter. And I think I know why I haven't seen it.

Trump said last night that the hot spots can do what their Gov wants as we open up the USA.

My guess is those states will reopen as soon as the governors are showered with federal money.

Cities like Houston and Dallas would just lose a shite ton of business and tax revenue to their suburbs for weeks. That’s a powerful motivator. Cities like New York where everything around is blue may be on lockdown until June.

I see it going down like this.

Trump only reopens economy fully if either a cure is proven, or full comprehension of disease proves it to be less deadly than the flu.

If either happen the Blue State governors will be forced by the people to follow suit with the rest of the nation.

States will have to evaluate each area carefully. I don't think the rest of the state should suffer if the virus impact is mostly in one area. That's how things are in New York and Louisiana - at least right now.

It's easy just to tell everyone to shelter in place and not take the dynamics of the spread in each metro area into account individually. That's just not going to be feasible in a couple of weeks when people grow impatient.

Trump never issued any shelter-in-place orders. Governors/Mayors did. States/counties/cities will make that call and not DJT.

Louisiana is shut down (kinda) through Easter, April 12. JBE will probably have to extend that some.

I wonder what they will try next? Pelosi & the DNC are scared to death of the "I" word now, as it tanked them and made Trump stronger.

Will they haul out some more women HRC paid off to say sex her arse ment?

Will they say muh China?

Will they try to JFK Trump?

We are at a point that if --God forbid-- anything happened to Trump; the media couldn't hold their celebrations and glee.

Feds will advise, but local governors / mayors will be the ones making the decisions here.

He can re-open the economy all he wants, but he can’t force cautious people to leave their house. Business will suffer either way. There’s just no way around it unfortunately until this goes away.

The economy never closed, certain areas of the economy closed. Things will get back to normal in a similar manner as they closed depending on local and state conditions.

What does “reopening the economy” actually look like?

-Limited open with social distancing requirements (I.e. no one within 6 feet of one another, limits to numbers in crowds)?

-Just act like the virus doesn’t exist and get back to 100%, or as close as possible?

-Quarantine at risk and over 60, then open up? (What happens if company has significant number in that category? CN they fire them to create headspace?

-Something else?

Trump didn’t shut things down. Those are decisions being made by governors and mayors. He has nothing to “open back up”.

Those that filed for unemployment will get back to work. I am sick of watching the media/DNC milk this just to get Trump.

Any one who denies the DNC/establishment/media have been begging to get Trump out with a tanked economy and another -gotcha- is lying through their teeth.
