9 US States Plan Reopening of Economies After Corona Virus Shutdown

I remember a very long time ago reading about getting the country back up after a nuke attack. Work parties were to be organized with postal carriers being pressed to deliver the information on able bodied workers (as they knew who was alive on their route)...The power came from the FEDGOV.

I would imagine with a 50 state declaration of Emergency, great powers are awarded to the President. I mean last week they were crying that Trump was not ordering all states to close and now they complain when he says he has the power to open them. Jeez...

They just figured out that non-workers don’t pay taxes.

Bingo!

[null and void]

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

It's a bit like Rudy and, dare I say, even Willard. On 9/11, nobody really cared that Rudy was pro-abortion, pro-gun control etc. He was an executive. He got trashed during the primaries, but that's besides the point. He was the man of our times. Same with Willard; he's a horrible pol, but in 2012 he was the better of two evils.

I personally detest Cuomo and his NYS attitude, but I also worked in NYC for a few decades so I can filter out his stupidity. When he's a good leader, you gotta call balls and strikes. I won't have him over to my home this summer for a barbecue, but I won't put his picture on my dart board.

This is a very odd development. It is almost as if the coastal elites are banding together against the rest of the country, and are semi-officially declaring themselves independent nations.

Fido969 ~ Bingo!

Neither do shut down casinos, Gov. Sisolak...

“DeWine deferred his dictatorship to Dr. Amy Acton. SHE is running the state.”

She may be, but he gets the big thrill of issuing the orders without restraint.

Be afraid, there’s a MONSTER out there!

My guess is 88% of Americans are looking forward to re-opening the economy. It’s rather exciting to think about.
Like an American Resurrection.

Failure is usually an Orphan, but Success has many Fathers.
Revitalization won’t take very long. Will be like a blood transfusion into a comatose patient.
The economy will loudly declare “I’M BACK! Back in Black!!”

I believe that all Governors should have a plan in place once the President opens the country.

The virus will STILL be here - just like Chicken Pox & other variants. It’s here, so what will we do?

Great idea to do the planning no one ever thought to do in the first place. This is a reality for all of us now.

If you fail to plan,
You’re planning to fail,
Or you’re planning to use someone else’s plan.
giving you plausible deniability.

You mean like “states?”

Very curious.

It's not an unexpected development. New York has been coordinating with its neighboring states for weeks.

It actually makes a lot of sense, especially in areas where you have metro areas that cross state lines. You don't want one state to re-open businesses while the neighboring state keeps them shut down. You'll have a large-scale movement of people across state lines that will ultimately make the problem worse.

New York City alone has a commuter region that includes parts of four states -- NY, NJ, CT and PA.

Cuomo was never great and will never be great.

He clearly isn’t nuanced enough to treat Upstate separately.

[DoodleDawg]

Interesting that South Dakota and Wyoming, the first two to announce reopening, aren’t even listed here.

Because none of the states mentioned borders South Dakota or Wyoming.

Federalize the National Guard in those states and arrest the Governors.

I had to check to make sure I was still reading Freerepublic.

[House Atreides]

There are no federal cash grants or loans for the states
*****************************************
And there should be NONE rolled out in any Phase 4.

I am not sure Trump is right about this. Is it not really in the power of the cities. The cities pretty much make second amendment decisions on their own after all.

[Sam Gamgee]

A mainstream media headline had stated that Trump and the governors are really going head to head over the restart.
