What is in the plan?
The administration's 18-page guidance document details three phases to reopen state economies, with each phase lasting, at minimum, 14 days.
They include some recommendations across all three phases including good personal hygiene and employers developing policies to ensure social distancing, testing and contact tracing.
Phase one includes much of the current lockdown measures such as avoiding non-essential travel and not gathering in groups. But it says large venues such as restaurants, places of worship and sports venues "can operate under strict physical distancing protocols".
If there is no evidence of a resurgence of the coronavirus, phase two allows non-essential travel to resume. The guidance says schools can reopen and bars can operate "with diminished standing-room occupancy".
Under phase three , states which are still seeing a downward trend of symptoms and cases can allow "public interactions" with physical distancing and the unrestricted staffing of worksites. Visits to care homes and hospitals can resume and bars can increase their standing room capacity.
Some regions could begin returning to normal after a month-long evaluation period, at the earliest, according to the document.
In places where there are more infections or where rates begin to rise, it could take longer.
The co-ordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, Dr Deborah Birx, told Thursday's briefing that as states worked through the three phases, they could allow for more and more employees to return to work in increments.
Phase three would be the "new normal", she said, and would still include suggestions that vulnerable people should avoid crowded spaces.

So deep down you actually believe your own ideas or steps in opening up an economy is the ultimate? You that don't have 2% of the info at his disposal for arriving at his decisions is here blaming all his actions. I give up ayam not doing again!
That's what you are made to believe. Anyway take it or leave Americans made decisions based on models and predictions so whatever steps you see is subject to change so if you like don't help yourself.

I lived through the 2008-2011 recession, trust me I know America more than most. The stimulus will help 70% of the population, this is better than nothing. Trump wants to open up the economy because people need to work and survive, Trump is doing the right thing but americans must be sensible as well, face mask, social disatancing and so on, Trump is not going to save you from the White House you know grin grin
That's exaggeration.. it won't cut across 40% of the populace

Rightly stated in your link. Droplets in air.
Any substance considered as droplets does stay in the air....it either drops to attach to something...and thats why the social distance is needed...
If u read through you will see the conclusion part as at march 27 the last report evidence and investigation is still on going to ascertain the potent of the virus staying in air without a carrier...

Our government should have started working on plan to reopen Nigeria before the lockdown, but I am glad that it was mentioned on the president’s latest speech. Hope they can start rolling out the plan before people start dying of hunger and crimes motivated by hunger.
What are you saying?
People are already dying of hunger and people are already being killed for crimes perpetrated

Are you not in this country

Why don't you be truthful and tell us who the protesters are?
They are gun nuts Trump worshippers who deserve no recognition.
Those hillbillies do not represent Americans.



There is no such thing as the American way of life in the constitution.
You have been brainwashed by the economically disadvantaged far right.
The US only funds 10% of WHO budget not the 60 that you quoted.

What a shame. When did Trump start following what "globalist" organizations says?
Now that he knows that it is an emergency, why is he risking the populace to open up?

Oh, I don't remember the USA or any other country shutting down because of Ebola.
The UN never said Coronavirus was nothing to worry about.
Even after the disease was declared a pandemic, most countries including the US did nothing
to protect themselves.


Unemployment and not Covid will determine the election.
Along with his stupidity that cost the Republican party the house majority.
If you really know what it means, Trump cannot reopen the economy.
He didn't even close it, to begin with, the governors did.



Democrat have always lost the rural votes. A knowledgeable person should note that.
Rural states don't matter because they always vote for one party.
It is the swing states that determine the election.
LMAO....This is just ridiculous, my 12 year old Nephew could give you a lesson in American History! The Constitution protects life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. How can you achieve these things locked up like a lab rat? Yo usay rural states don't matter yet they played a huge part in the last election. Rural and manufacturing states which are often neglected by Democrats swung the electoral college in Trump's favor. Let's even forget all that, you think Biden is going to win swing states like Iowa, Ohio, Florida? Don't be silly grin grin grin.

Furthermore, the U.S contributes between 40-60% to WHO. Maybe I didn't make it clear enough, the US government contributes about 16-25% and the Bill Gates foundation another 18-25%. I said 40-60% overall, read more carefully! Trump didn't close the economy, the governors did? It's a combination of both, trump closed federal ammenities such as seaports, airports and reduced the number of federal employees. The states handled state affairs. Republicans did not have a huge majority for rural votes in 1992 and 1996 elections because Bill was popular hence they lost the election, in 2000 and 2004 it was a different story, keep deceiving yourself that rural votes don't matter!

Finally, WHO failed to declare a global emergency in December and January, this led to the continuous spread of the virus to places like Italy and other European countries, it led to further spread in the USA. Ebola was localized in the USA and screening measures were quickly put in place at airports and affceted areas. Why continuing to fund an organization that does nothing to safeguard the USA? You really think the economy should remain shutdown? Did you live in this country from 2008-2011? Trust me nobody wants the economy to remain shutdown, NOBODY!

Well USA is about 330 million people, 80 million already got their money last week, so your 40% estimate is already looking like a fallacy.

This man's desperation will even lead to more loss of lives. US has the highest case and death in the world and he still feels that the virus is nothing to be scared about.. he should swallow his fucking pride and agree that his mismanagement and incompetency led to this virus overwhelming them exhaustively.

Very courageous man who loves his country first.
Later other side ll say his right. He knows the game. China can never rule the world in his time. If he allow their economy to downward slope, China ll definitely take over the world. He wants Americans back after studying the virus operandi .The opposition ll never like it . Who does not know, can never know.
Petersamuel8:
America will come back strong, China go hear am hot
China is Americas largest trade partner. They both benefit greatly from each others economy. China will not be on the receiving end of anything.
Yall will be disappointed. The only people wey go hear am hot na 3rd world countries by this time next year G8 nations will meet and discuss like nothing happened in 2020. As at today China is still the leading source of Nigeria's imports. So while you are waiting for them to hear it hot they are producing what you will use.

Shut down which airport? He closed the border to China indigenes.Those from Europe were still able come in till much later.

What about testing? PPE ( ventilator, etc) for Frontline hospital staff? The horrendously skewed deaths among blacks?

Give it rest, your darling Trump failed miserably in the response.

Come on Abbey, ive seen some of your posts on the American politics thread, and I expect your defense of Trump to be more compelling than this naa. tongue
This is ridiculous, go and read how American government works, testing , ventilators? Is it the job of the federal government alone for these things? Each state has its own autonomy, what don't you undertsand about that? It's like nairalanders zombies blaming Buhari for everything, what happened to the governors, the LG Chairman? You want to put the blame on Trump go ahead but it won't mean a thing, there's enough blame to go around!

Furthermore yes the initial restrictions were on people who are coming from China then it got expanded to non citizens or residents, then it got expanded via states to a total shutdown. As of March, if you're not a citizen or a resident, you can't fly to the USA.

I love this man because of his foresight and principles. We can't continue like this as country Nigeria, I sincerely belief that there is covid 19 in our land but the way things are done make people to doubt this.


Our govt officials are looting the money.


Fact...
could you imagine! We are still on 4,000 tests per day (a country of over 200m people), whereas other countries are testing over 40,000 per day

Soknown:
About 32,000 deaths, that's like a football stadium size of people gone. It's a serious problem. If this step back fires, who will trump blame. May be UN.
32,000 deaths happened because they were paying attention to WHO wicked recommendations
1. Initially China said human to human transmission was not happening, WHO supported them.
2. China underreported the outbreak causing the whole world to underrate the virus, WHO backed them up
3. Trump wanted to impose travel restrictions to China, WHO said it's not needed
4. Up till this moment WHO has not approved the use of hydroxylchloroquine and yet hasn't recommended a better drug.
5. WHO said use of face mask isn't necessary, but forgot that China made face mask compulsory before they could win.

Americans have decided to avoid WHO and take responsibility for their destiny, and that is the best for them.

WHO was a big player in the conspiracy to spread this virus.

Can't he at least wait for the viral disease to reduce to a point? What's the hurry?
People have multiple outstanding and piled up bills to pay.

The COVID-19 virus is not going anywhere soon. The purpose of the stay-at-home order is to reduce the number of people who's immune system might not be able to fight the virus at home through being quarantined and will need hospital care.
