Opening up Republican states will not have a big effect on improving the economy.

A lot of Republican states have very small economies. A lot of them are poor states. Republican states that do have a big economy, like Florida or Texas, if they open things up that will help the economy a little until they have to shut down again.

That Trump, he is such a deep thinker. He thinks this will save the economy.

have not gone forward to the "peak" plateau" and then curve. They are at least 2 or 3 weeks behind NY, WA, CA.

Opening them up will cause the virus to spread even faster, and causing much pain and suffering. But alas, shithole don't care nor does the republicans.

You can open it all back up but that don't mean squat if there is no one to travel.

Is the 5th largest economy in the world!

Trump should be thanking Newsom and Pelosi and Schiff.

It will give Trump someplace to golf and hold rallies. That should do away with his presence at these CoVid19 briefings and maybe we'll get some actual scientific facts as to what is going on ...
