The Donald Trump May 1st hard push is a memory …
Facing a solid brick wall of doubt, worry and legal reality?
The President will give suggestions to the nation’s governor’s on how to ‘reopen America’…The ‘experts’ seem to have gotten thru to Trump also…
On a conference call earlier Thursday, Trump told governors, “You’re going to call your own shots.” But he emphasized that the federal government will support the states, according to a person on the call who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the conversation.
The guidelines suggest that before reopening, states should first see a decrease in confirmed covid-19 cases over a 14-day period. That suggestion is in line with the recommendations of public health experts, who have said that due to the virus’s 14-day incubation period, states should refrain from moving toward relaxing their restrictions until they have seen a sustained reduction in new cases for at least that long.
The White House plan also states that hospitals should be able to “treat all patients without crisis care” and have a “robust testing system in place for at-risk health care workers” before proceeding to a phased reopening.
Trump also held a conference call with senators earlier Thursday. During the call, the president largely held back and listened to the senators, as both Democrats and Republicans alike pressed him on the need for more broad testing availability, according to senators on the call and other officials briefed on it.
Democrats in particular expressed wariness to the president about re-opening the economy until the testing was robust enough, according to one of the officials, who spoke anonymously to discuss a private conference call.
Still, some GOP senators also spoke of their vision for what a re-start of the economy would look like,…
More…
Note …
Of Course this keeps Trump where he can claim he did something if things get better…
And stand off if they don’t and blame the governors….
Trump STILL has NOT been helpful in increasing the nations testing abilities…
The BS just doesn’t quit…
The country IS being run by amateurs …

Many of the 200-some CEOs/business leaders on the task force that Trump consulted with re: this don’t know what these guidelines are, just as they didn’t know they were going to be part of a task force. — https://nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/ahead-economic-announcement-white-house-scrambled-assemble-list-names-n1184756
Its about the testing.
Until a vigorous testing regimen s in place?
And it’s not at present
This is nothing but a bunch of useless verbiage.

President Donald J. Trump Is Beginning the Next Phase In Our Fight Against Coronavirus: Guidelines for Opening Up America Again
Issued on: April 16, 2020
All of American society is engaged and mobilized in the war against the invisible enemy. While we must remain vigilant, it is clear that our aggressive strategy is working.
President Donald J. Trump
BEGINNING THE NEXT PHASE IN THE FIGHT: President Donald J. Trump is continuing the fight against the coronavirus by beginning to reopen the country in a smart and safe way.
The Trump Administration is issuing new guidelines to enable individual States to reopen in phases using a deliberate, data-driven approach.
Under these guidelines, States will reopen one step at a time, rather than all at once.
The guidelines will empower Governors to tailor the phased reopening to address the situation in their State.
Governors can begin phased openings at the Statewide or county-by-county level.
These guidelines were developed by the top medical experts from across the Government and are based on verifiable metrics regarding the situation on the ground.
The guidelines set clear benchmarks on new cases, testing, and hospital resources for States to meet to proceed toward a phased reopening.
Criteria include a downward trajectory in cases presenting coronavirus-like symptoms or a downward trajectory in positive tests.
The criteria also included hospitals having the resources to treat all patients without crisis care and a robust testing program for healthcare workers.
CONTINUING TO PROTECT AMERICANS: These new guidelines represent the next phase in President Trump’s data-based approach to protect the health and wellbeing of Americans.
Thanks to the commitment and sacrifices of Americans across the country, we have seen critical progress in flattening the curve.
A long-term nationwide shutdown is not sustainable and would inflict wide-ranging harm on the health and wellbeing of our citizens.
The President’s data-based approach will protect the health and safety of Americans while laying the groundwork for economic growth.
These guidelines will allow healthy Americans to safely return to work as conditions allow while protecting seniors and other vulnerable Americans.
LEADING A HISTORIC MOBILIZATION: President Trump has led a historic mobilization to rapidly ramp up testing and the distribution of medical supplies.
President Trump mobilized the full resources of the Government and the private sector to increase the production and distribution of supplies like masks and ventilators.
President Trump utilized the Defense Production Act, and the private sector responded, with numerous companies stepping up to shift production to make medical supplies.
The Administration launched Project Airbridge to airlift supplies to the United States from around the world.
The President surged resources and personnel to assist healthcare providers on the frontlines.
At the President’s direction, the military and FEMA stood up emergency medical sites around the country, and two naval ships were deployed to assist hospitals.
President Trump has led an unprecedented effort to ramp up testing across the country.
The Administration has provided emergency use authority for dozens of new commercial tests.
The United States has now conducted more than 3.5 million tests – far more than any other country in the world.
The Food and Drug Administration continues to authorize new antibody tests that will be critical as we move toward the next phase.
Because of President Trump’s decisive early action, we have been able to get needed medical supplies to our healthcare workers on the frontlines and avoid deadly shortfalls.
No American who has needed a ventilator has gone without one.
States like New York, California, Washington, and Oregon have even been able to send extra ventilators to other areas that need them.
A LONG LIST OF BULL SHIT🙄‼️
