The governors said they would decide when best to reopen their states’ economies based on at least four factors, including;

* sustained control of the rate of new infections and hospitalizations,

* enhanced ability to test and trace, sufficient health care capacity to handle resurgence,

* best practices for social distancing in the workplace.

“Over time, people will go back to work, restaurants will reopen, and things will go back to normal. We look forward to working together as one region to tackle this challenge together,” the statement concludes.

Which are basically the criteria that Trump laid out. It makes sense for them to work together. Opening your state is asking for trouble if the state next to you has Covid-19 running wild. What’s to prevent their people coming in and infecting your people?

Stay up north. We do not want you here. Gretchen would love to ruin our upcoming parade on May 1.

yep, I wonder about this, with 5 Democrats and only 2 Republicans, the Republicans will be outvoted/overruled, assuming all these governors made some pact to act together and in concert with the reopening process.

The only capstone to this bunch of hacks would be having Adolf Northam join.

metaphorical ‘Parade’ of course.
There will be openings. Some places are preparing to open and challenge any fines or penalties in court since the legislators did not define the law. Governors do not make laws.

Since when is Kentucky a midwestern state? And Iowa + the upper Great Plains states not?

Yep - Michigan is there because their Governess intends to ride the coattails of the rest because she knows she’s in way over her empty little head...

Kentucky is included because a lot of people live in Kentucky and work in Ohio. Cincinnati’s international airport, in fact, is across the Ohio River in Kentucky.

The De-whiner was already getting protests before the POTUS gave him free rein to open Ohio as possible. We are not in a mood to be led by the sob sisters in Ky., Mich. or Illinois. I think Pense will excert some leverage in Indiana and bring them along.
Mike better kick it in gear or get kicked in the rear. Even the Socialist Republic of Columbus will revolt come football season.

Great - what a List. The idiot Rino Holcomb from Indiana had no problem falling in line.

I agree. The IND governor might have felt surrounded.

Wouldn't surprise me if they sent a bunch of knowingly infected people to South Dakota just to embarrass their governor.

Dewine? At best a RINO. But not as hate-fille, anti-Trump as the rest. Democrats on both coasts, and now the north coast, are fighting Trump.

You mean "Blackface Northam". This one's got to be hammered home.
