President Trump Announces Reopening of Some States as Soon as April
Breitbart ^ | April 14,2020 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 04/14/2020 5:17:17 PM PDT by Hojczyk

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that he would be reopening some states as early as April.

The president revealed his plans during a press conference in the Rose Garden.

The day will be very close. … It’s going to be very, very close, maybe even before the date of May 1st,” Trump said.

The president reaffirmed the reopening dates would vary from state to state, depending on the level of coronavirus infections.

“Actually there are over 20 that are in extremely good shape, and we think we’re going to be able to get them open fairly quickly, and others will follow,” Trump said.

The president said that the federal government would provide each state with assistance.

“The federal government will be watching them very closely, and we’ll be there to help,” he said.

The president said he would work with blue state governors like Gov. Andrew Cuomo to reopen their states and give them the necessary resources.

“We’re all set, as I said, the governors will be opening up their states, they’re going to declare when,” he said. “Some can open very, very shortly, if not almost immediately.”

The president opened his remarks by citing progress against the coronavirus pandemic.

“We grieve at every precious life that has been lost to the invisible enemy, but through the darkness, we see those rays of light,” he said.

And political blame for what happens next shifts back to governors

I rather suspect that was his plan all along. Great strategy IMHO.

I think the return for our economy is a long way off. Way longer than POTUS or anyone else would like.

Except that.....

The following nine red states have refused to impose statewide or any lockdowns. at all All of them have minimal death tolls from the Wuhan virus, including the populous South Carolina, and five of them have not enacted even local lockdowns:

Arkansas – 14 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Iowa – 14 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Nebraska – 8 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
North Dakota – 3 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Oklahoma – 42 deaths.
South Carolina – 40 deaths.
South Dakota – 2 deaths. No statewide or local lockdowns.
Utah – 8 deaths.
Wyoming – 0 deaths.
[Data as of this writing on April 6 at 9 p.m.]

yes, what the msm doesnt talk about is that with each 1% increase in unemployment suicide is estimated to be a low of 4,000 to 40,000. With a projected unemployment rate of 30% , the annual deaths from suicide would range from 120,000 as a low to 1,200,000 and may exceed that of deaths from COVID-19.

Your prediction is about to be put to the test.

Look what they (NIH, et al) all already knew, from back in 2005:

‘I would even go as far as college and NFL football being played in empty stadiums.’

I doubt that; they’ll cancel the games first...

I've expanded my prior tracking of COVID-19 deaths by country to now cover all of the US at the state level. For those of you new to this analysis, I standardize each municipality's cumulative COVID-19 fatality count from GitHub by its population, then multiply the resulting quotient by the US' population of 329MM to put everyone on a common/US scale. I then index each municipality's time-series to Day 1, where their size-adjusted fatality count is right before it breaches 1,000 people. This corrects for what I call the "Golf Problem" where broadcasts of the Masters etc have to show not only each golfer's score, but which hole they're at. I also list the Day 1 date and the population for reference.

Below are the data. Note for the US as nation, that Day 1 is March 25, which means Day 20 is April 13 for that row of data. You can do the math for the other municipalities to find out what Day XX means for them in calendar times; as a general rule, the last actual data point is the freshest date (i.e., Day 22 for Georgia is that state's COVID-19 cumulative population-adjusted fatality count for April 13), but on a Golf timeline it gives each municipality's score as of the "20th hole." The order is alphabetical.

If we pick Day 20 as a reference point, the states with the four highest adjusted fatalities are NY, NJ, MI, LA and CT, respectively. Going a step further with regard to this article, here are the states SmokingJoe listed, the freshest adjusted fatality total, and their 'hole' as of April 13:

Arkansas – 3,209, Day 14
Iowa – 4,325 , Day 13
Nebraska – 2,955, Day 13
North Dakota – 3,483, Day 16
Oklahoma – 8,341, Day 18
South Carolina – 5,519, Day 18
South Dakota – 2,303, Day 9
Utah – 1,430, Day 9
Wyoming – hasn't started golfing

Henceforth, I'll just post updates vs the entire grid of data. Pray hard for those impacted and let me know if you have questions/corrections.

Municipality Date of Day 1 = day prior to breaching size-adj 1,000 COVID19 fatalities Population Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 Day 9 Day 10 Day 11 Day 12 Day 13 Day 14 Day 15 Day 16 Day 17 Day 18 Day 19 Day 20 Day 21 Day 22 Day 23 Day 24 Day 25 Day 26 Day 27 Day 28
