Good to hear this. 20k lost lives are tragic (if that many actually died from CV), but 20 MILLION are now without jobs. How much death and destruction will come from that, if not corrected quickly.

We’re lucky to have him as President.

[Repeal The 17th]

Isn’t it already April?

Faux News has already trotted out Big Media’s response:

Fauci says US ‘not there yet’ on reopening economy, May 1 target a ‘bit’ too optimistic

I think the return for our economy is a long way off. Way longer than POTUS or anyone else would like. I would even go as far as college and NFL football being played in empty stadiums.

Let me check my calender. Did anyone tell Breitbart what month it is? ;) Bet that headline gets editted soon.

[Caipirabob]

LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!! 🎊 🎉 🎈

[livius]

Yes! Please do this!

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Brilliant move, delegating the reopen decision to the Governors. First, he set them up by saying only He (Trump) had the authority. MSM and Dems screamed “King!”

So now he says, let each Governor decide. 50 of them.

Let Fauci argue with each Governor. Hah!!!!

No new cases today in the county, no deaths😀

Key Points

• Nationally, the percent of laboratory specimens testing positive for influenza at clinical laboratories continued to decrease and is now low.
• ILI activity continued to decrease nationally but remains elevated.
• Recent changes in healthcare seeking behavior, including increasing use of telemedicine and recommendations to limit emergency department (ED) visits to severe illness, as well as increasing levels of social distancing, are affecting the number of persons with ILI and their reasons for seeking care in outpatient and ED settings.
• Laboratory confirmed influenza-associated hospitalization rates for the U.S. population overall are higher than most recent seasons and rates for children 0-4 years and adults 18-49 years are the highest CDC has on record for these age groups, surpassing rates reported during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. Hospitalization rates for school-aged children (5-17 years) are higher than any recent regular season but remain lower than rates experienced by this age group during the pandemic.
• The percent of deaths associated with pneumonia and influenza is above the epidemic threshold. The increase is due to an increase in pneumonia deaths rather than influenza deaths and likely reflects COVID-19 activity.
• 166 influenza-associated deaths in children have been reported so far this season. This number is high compared to recent seasons, but remains lower than the 2017-2018 season during which 188 pediatric deaths were reported.
• CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 39 million flu illnesses, 410,000 hospitalizations and 24,000 deaths from flu.
• Antiviral medications are an important adjunct to flu vaccine in the control of influenza. Almost all (>99%) of the influenza viruses tested this season are susceptible to the four FDA-approved influenza antiviral medications recommended for use in the U.S. this season.
• With ongoing declines in influenza activity and the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on outpatient ILI and P&I mortality data, this will be the final week of a full FluView report. More detailed interpretation of data from these systems can be found in COVIDView starting next week (week 15).

The Demonrat push for mail-in voting coincides with their hope that the shutdown would extend into November. But curses, foiled again by President Trump!

[GulfMan]

2,407 deaths already tonight

that's a thousand more than yesterday ... Open things up and it will be 5k to 10k thousand dying a night, it's already at 2.5k

[KittyKares]

I doubt California will open early.

[foreverfree]

“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.”

I thought the President was the only one who could open the states?

[fortheDeclaration]

Fantastic! Lets get the nation moving again!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yeah. Right.

Along with April 1 back to normal as it warms up, and packed Easter Services around the country.

2,000+ FELLOW AMERICANS DEAD JUST YESTERDAY ALONE

[Bommer]

Reopen Monday with caveats in place (i.e. Mandatory masks for 2 weeks. Resturants to serve only to go orders. Bars stay closed. New infects are to be treated with Trump drugs first unless alertic to them) Then tell all states that any of them that refuses to open up will be quarantined. No one gets in. No one gets out. You have 72 hours to get what you need before the military seals off all adjacent state and country borders.Watch Cuomo change his mind on who calls the shots for opening up the country?
