    Trump suggests U.S. states re-open economies in three phases in new guidelines

    In the first phase of Trump’s guidelines, to be publicly unveiled on Thursday evening, larger venues like restaurants and movie theaters could operate again with strict social distancing, according to a copy seen by Reuters. Non-essential travel could resume and schools could open their doors again in phase two. In phase three medically vulnerable people could resume public interactions.

    Deep thought went into this, can anyone see the first flaw in the plan?

    going out on a limb here, guessing about 98% of people who post on this thread are anti-trump and see a right wing conspiracy.i voted for him rather than hill-billy, but dont always agree with his policies, and they need to block his twitter account.

    Not to mention the tax revenue loss from sales tax/business tax etc that will hurt the state's and city's budgets. What ambitious politician wanting to be re-elected would purposely do that?

    This used to be a forum dominated by conservative posters. When Trump was elected, they became insulting and repeatedly violated the personal attack rules. And after the mods cracked down on the rules, they fled for a safe space. I suggest you go back to the beginning of this thread and read the discussions. Because the liberals’ have been wholly consistent here while the conservatives have repeatedly shifted their positions as their previous positions proved wrong.

    No. Being anti trump has nothing to do with thinking a lot of the right is out of their mind right now. The left has their own problems no doubt, but right now, I'm way more concerned with the right.

    What right wing conspiracy are you referring to? Can you provide a specific example of what you mean?

    So is her state all out against her, or just a vocal and aggressive minority?

    Trump just said that 30% of the states have reported no new cases in the last 7 days.

    WTF?
