Instead of announcing an opening of the country, as some hoped he would do, Donald Trump has introduced a fantastical scheme which does not contain clear meaning.
Insofar as it has any meaning at all, it means “we’re staying closed.”
Fox News:
President Trump announced on Thursday the White House’s plan for eventually rolling back social distancing measures and reopening the country’s economy in several phases — depending on location — amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The plan calls for three phases to reopening the country, based on the severity of the coronavirus outbreak in each individual state or region.
“We can begin the next front in our war, which we are calling ‘Opening Up America Again,'” Trump said during a press briefing at the White House. “To preserve the health of Americans, we must preserve the health of our economy.”
I would have called it “Make America Not as Locked Down as Now Again,” but okay.
The plan, which Trump announced along with the formation of a bipartisan council of lawmakers from both chambers of Congress, outlines “recommendations” for governors to develop their own plans to reopen. It also includes a number of criteria that must be met in terms of numbers of infections and hospitalizations before they can open up.
The “Opening Up America Again” plan was signed off on by the president’s medical advisers, Dr. Deborah Birx, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Robert Redfield, and will be a “data-driven” approach with governors taking the helm in deciding, down to a county-level, how they will reopen their states, the White House said.
Yeah, as soon as you heard Brix and Fauci signed off on it, you knew that it was just a long-winded way of saying “it’s not happening, bro.”
Whenever I hear anyone who supports this hoax use the term “data-driven,” the muscles in my neck start to twitch.
Fauci said his lunatic doomsday graphs were data-driven.
