Will these plans be like their Pandemic response plans?

[brownsfan]

You can be sure Ohio will be very late to reopen.

DeSwine is loving his turn at being a dictator. He’s an old bast*rd, so he likely won’t run again, but I can guarantee I would never vote for him, ever.

[DownInFlames]

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

[Vigilanteman]

Interesting that South Dakota and Wyoming, the first two to announce reopening, aren’t even listed here. We wouldn’t want some unapproved flyover governor getting credit for stating the obvious now, would we?

[ameribbean expat]

when the situation is good enough to open a state economy, flow of federal funds needs to proportionately decrease.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

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

“ Nobody has been here before, nobody has all the answers,” Cuomo said during an open conference call with his five counterparts. “Addressing public health and the economy: Which one is first? They’re both first.”

can anyone imagine the absolute outcry if Trump had said this. Freakin hypocrites. “Trump wants grandmothers to die and also kill the economy”

[gogeo]

They think that banding together will protect them from the big, bad orange man.

Legal experts say a U.S. president has limited power under the U.S. Constitution to order citizens back to their places of employment, or cities to reopen government buildings, transportation, or local businesses to reopen.

Mainly because of the Incompetence of the person Asking the question.

Ask your "Legal Experts" this question:

Can the Federal Government Criminally Prosecute Elected State Officials for Deprivinig the Citizens of their God Given Rights, enumerated in, secured by, and Protected by the US Constitution.

18 U.S. Code § 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law U.S. Code Notes prev | next Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

All the states should be planning reopening of economies at this time, such plans certainly including respecting expert medical advice, not “Orange Man Bad” politics.

[silverleaf]

Sounds like Cuomo is preparing to get ahead of Trump’s plan and claim it as his own...kinda like he’s done since the TF was formed.

Imagine Cuomo having to be led through this by a Biden WH. They’d be real busy building him 40,000 ventilators from govt appropriated businesses... and without advocating for hydroxy...

he might need a lot of them

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.

[Steve_Seattle]

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.

[lee martell]

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!!”

[ZephyrTX]

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.

[DannyTN]

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

[Sam Gamgee]

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.

[Fitzy_888]

Keep movin’, movin’, movin’
Though they’re disapprovin’
Keep them dogies movin’, taxcattle!
Don’t try to understand ‘em
Just rope ‘em, throw, and brand ‘em

[tet68]

The country can go back to work soon,
but the longer congress is in recess the happier
I’ll be.
