US President Trump says some states could reopen 'literally tomorrow' as he unveils new guidelines for reopening the US economy
President Donald Trump answers questions as Vice President Mike Pence and Dr Anthony Fauci listen during an announcement of the Trump administration's guidelines for"Opening Up America Again" at the daily coronavirus task force briefing at the White House in Washington, US on April 16, 2020.
“You’re going to call your own shots,” Trump told the governors Thursday afternoon in a conference call, according to an audio recording obtained by The Associated Press.Places with declining infections and strong testing would begin a three-phase gradual reopening of businesses and schools. But Trump pushed back, suggesting that people wanted to return to watch football games and fill restaurants. “That’s going to happen and it's going to be relatively quickly,” he predicted.Delaware Governor John Carney, a Democrat, said the guidelines “seem to make sense.”
“All would be forgotten very quickly if we moved into a stage quicker than we should, and then we got into a situation where we had people dying like flies,” Justice told reporters. Those most susceptible to the respiratory disease are advised to remain sheltered in place until their area enters the final phase – and even then are encouraged to take precautions to avoid close contact with other people.
Trump also held conference calls on Thursday with lawmakers he named to a new congressional advisory task force on reviving the economy. The economic costs were clear in new federal data showing that at least 22 million Americans have been thrown out of work in the last month.But the legislators repeatedly urged the president not to sacrifice public health by moving too quickly.
