President Donald J. Trump Is Beginning the Next Phase In Our Fight Against Coronavirus: Guidelines for Opening Up America Again

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.

Latest from my corner of the nation.

I live in semi-rural Mason County Washington on the out skirts of Shelton WA.

Population 60,000.
total Corona-virus cases 22.
deaths 0.

for the most part out of town things seem normal - traffic about 3/4 normal. gas station mom and pops open doing business.

in town restaurants with to-go and delivery services are open and busy.
people seem to be ignoring social distancing, not many masks are being worn - saw maybe 3.

public schools closed for now
60's and 70's weather, blossoms, flowers...

Seattle (60 miles North) is different with a death toll although temporary hospitals are being shut down due to lack of patients.

In the meantime, we need to aggressively repatriate all medical related production to the US, with laws designed to ensure national security and stimulate competition. Entrepreneurial endeavors should create vast opportunities for re-employment available only to citizens and permanent legal aliens, with no H-1B visas, DACA, or similar exceptions allowed.

And we still need to deal with 3M and anyone else that has been acting against the best interests of the US. This will likely have to be mitigated or we may not have anyone left to run the country or companies.

In Florida's Pasco county where I live we have had 147 cases and 2 deaths. If Walmart and the grocery stores can be open, why not Best Buy or the other retail outlets? I stopped wearing a mask but will still use sanitizer. At some point the problems created by the lockdown will outweigh the cost of having it. We don't all stay locked up during the flu season because many will die or stop driving our cars because 35k people will leave this world in vehicle accidents every year. Life is what they call a "crap shoot", no one is guaranteed to make it through the dayin one piece or alive.

IS IT Possible that this scripture is being fulfilled

1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

here we unable to gather, forced to "shelter in place" in our homes.
not so different for me being unable to get around that well anymore.

some/many of our elderly passing on to be with the LORD.

PAN DEM IC.

The word says it all. Panic surrounds DEM. It’s the best they have come up with to ‘unite’ the country. What a plan. If it is SO successful, guarantee you will see more of it.
