Trump: Plan for 'opening up America again' will be governor-led and phased in, as top doctors agreed

President Donald Trump's forthcoming guidelines on "Opening Up America Again" put a focus on state governors and have the blessing of the coronavirus task force's top medical experts.

White House officials told Daily Caller that Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Robert Redfield are all in a consensus that the plan, which heavily takes into account regional public health concerns, is the proper path to move forward for the country.

The guidance is primarily focused on revitalizing the economy and addresses multiple different industries that have struggled under social distancing, including restaurants and bars. Large public gatherings will eventually be approved in a phased and layered way.

The officials explained that the guidance is extremely granular and will be issued all the way down to the county level. The White House acknowledged that some governors have already extended their current shelter in place orders but added that others could be ready to open their states ahead of Trump's previous target date of May 1.

One official in particular thanked the American public for strictly adhering to Trump's social distancing guidelines, noting that those efforts not only dramatically limited the number of national coronavirus deaths, but also are allowing for the phased-in reopening of the country.

Documents distributed by the White House during the president's conference call with state governors show the plan will be split into 3 separate phases, with specific guidelines for "individuals," "employers," and "specific types of employers" in each phase.

All three phases stress Americans still practice good hygiene, wear face masks in public, protect vulnerable populations. Employers are also tasked with strictly monitoring the wellbeing of their workforce through various medical practices and the distribution of personal protective equipment as applicable.

Trump will expand on the new plans at a Thursday evening press conference at the White House. He has publicly stated his desire to reopen the country and the economy over the past week. He told reporters gathered in the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday:

"All of American society is engaged and mobilized in the war against the invisible enemy. It is clear that our strategy is working, and very strongly working. The data suggests that nationwide we have passed the peak on new cases. Hopefully that will continue, and we will continue to make great progress."

Now that they have everybody afraid of one another, structures in place for rapid lockdown and UBI, and teachers used to distance learning, they'll give us all a breather.

lsjarvi Not really. Governor just doubled the length of my house arrest yesterday, probably in response to Trump wanting us to open. Better to double down for sake of politics, than to preserve your state's economy and businesses, right Tony E? There will be no small businesses left to reopen by the time this is done. Talked to three local business owners today (YES, I am SOCIALIZING), who like others said they can't get small business loans to cover payroll and will probably close permanently. Why can they not get the loans (besides the fact that all $350 million allocated ran out already), is also interesting. You have to have a relationship with an approved lending bank, but it turns out in Wisconsin, that the only approved banks are in MADISON (political donors being rewarded by Tony). So people in north wisconsin don't bank hundreds of miles away, and thus aren't eligible for "relief." Oh, and mind you, of the trillions of dollars that are being printed out of thin air, that your children will be paying interest on for the next 80 years of their lives, ONLY $350 million was allocated to preserve small businesses, with banksters and other criminal multinational orgs getting ALL THE REST. By design. And same as all other crashes brought about by the same people.

WE NEED TO GO BACK TO BARTER. Please, we cannot trust these idiots and assholes to "solve" the economic collapse they started, with a new "house of cards" fiat currency. Barter works, doesn't need to be centrally controlled, and can be implemented today, so long as we don't stop SOCIALIZING. Remember, social distance = divide and conquer. Now they are trying to say (see cute CDC ad) that social distancing involves physical space ... but you can't roll that back. By ensuring people fear other people, they are just trying to make it less likely we will develop our own barter systems and basically engage in communal anarchy (a system of local governance where people in a community make their own decisions).

Finch 330 million people are going to barter for goods and services? How are relative values established? How do you determine the worth of an hour's work from a doctor relative to an hour's worth of lawn-mowing from your teenage neighbor? How do businesses operate between regions or states? We have far too complex an economic system for barter to be feasible. When I was in college, some people developed a barter system, called the 'Skills Bank', that was used by hippies and others that considered the idea cool. They really did put a lot of time and effort into making it work, but it rapidly became clear that the only reason it minimally worked even on that scale was because people liked the idea and were willing to be generous with their time and skills, and were (very temporarily) willing to accept semi-skilled labor for an hour of architectural work, for example. There was an attempt to create an hourly equivalence, e.g., you had to do 15 hours of lawn mowing to get 1 hour of architectural consultation, but it didn't work even on that scale - and this was in a small fraction of the population of a small town, in the hippy-dippy, anything goes, early 70s.

Wait until the crime wave starts and suddenly masks are illegal.

All of these screen worshipers that are soooo scared of the boogeyman virus coming to infect them, have yet to even know what fear is.

How disease free is this nation going to be when rat is the main course? All that matters to these yellow spined fools is that they don't get sick. So essentially every flu season forever the nation is going to have to stop functioning so the half dead don't become fully dead.

And while I hate to point fingers, because there are a lot of skirt wearing men out there in regard to this fiasco, women just love to pine away about things like this. It is an inherent psychological flaw that if you worry enough about it, somehow that will fix it.

Finch · 2020-04-17T19:00:16Z

ChewyBees Good point re masks. Not allowed to wear sunglasses, a gun, or a hat into the bank, but I can wear a mask? And nobody is making jokes about this yet?

HashAttack2 · 2020-04-17T19:33:09Z

ChewyBees How come are the virus believers the one's most likely to wear a dust mask .... would you wear 1/2 inch chicken netting to keep flies off?

Shut down the lock down!

Finch · 2020-04-17T19:21:37Z

Rowan Cocoan I just shut it down. If others can make decisions not backed by rule of law and legislation, so can I.

Seems like whoever has the loudest voice gets their wishes with respect to lockdown, so we just have to be LOUDER. Maybe someone should remind those locking down the world that they serve us as at-will employees, and we WILL exercise our rights to fire them.

Joyly · 2020-04-18T01:25:03Z

In a utopian world our system would not be driven by money, but by people sharing their chosen skills and as Isjarvi commented people do it because they like the idea and naturally become more generous. If everyone were able to do what they chose and received free education to do so, peoples' needs in housing, transport, food and clothing are equal. Everyone would contribute their unique gifts and everyone would want to ensure that all people have adequate housing, clothing, food, water and education. These are basic rights that we would all want not just for ourselves but for all..

HVACTech · 2020-04-18T01:51:03Z

Joyly I did NOT chose my skills, I earned them. and yes dear, I am well aware that you have both no idea of just what it is that I do. you also do not have any interest in it. (even though you are dependent upon it right now. no matter where you are in this world)

you speak of "basic Rights" it is my firm belief, that a 'Right' cannot and must not demand the services of another.

Eventide · 2020-04-18T10:37:24Z

Joyly What I commented was that economically, it doesn't work. Socially, perhaps, to the extent that human generosity of spirit can be counted on. And that capacity, as we know, varies greatly from person to person. Economically, no.
