President Trump Unveils Grand Three-Phase 'Reopening Plan' Of The U.S. Economy



Daily Mail: Donald Trump unveils grand three-phase 'reopening plan' then passes the buck to governors to 'call the shots' - but DOESN'T say how many states are ready to open up, how to decide if YOUR state is safe - and how many tests are going to be done

* The White House released guidelines for reopening the country
* Trump spoke about the guidelines at the White House
* One benchmark is a sustained drop in cases over two weeks
* He didn't specify which states might move toward reopening first
* First phase would have schools remain closed
* Told governors: 'You are going to call your own shots'
* By Phase Three people could visit nursing homes, where virus has spread
* Guidelines do not extend to a final phase with what used to describe normal life with packed concert halls, full bars, and minimal distancing

President Donald Trump has further backed away from his claim of having 'total' authority on when to reopen the country, and told Americans Thursday he would 'allow' governors to reopen at their discretion.

'To preserve the health of our citizens we must also preserve the health and functioning of our economy,' Trump said at the White House.

Even as deaths and infections in the nation continued to rise, the president declared the nation in the 'process' of winning the war against the coronavirus, and announced the new phased return toward normalcy.

He said states would make decisions on when to reopen, a turnaround from what he said on Monday.
