WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump will make a number of "key, vital" announcements about re-opening the U.S. economy in the next day or two, his top economic adviser said on Tuesday.

"In the next few days, he will be making some very important announcements regarding those (social-distancing) guidelines," National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow told Fox Business Network.

"We want to get folks back to work," he added. "We want to do it as quickly as possible. It has to be safe. It has to be driven by the data from our health specialists."

He is just trying to recover from his disastrous "do nothing" as the virus spread, saying it was no big deal, that everything was under control, that it was just like the common flu, etc. .Now he wants to "lead" in "reopening" obviously to take credit for any recovery. But the governors who made the tough decisions and now coordinating their efforts on the east and west coast have the final say, according to constitutional scholars. He can still leverage his power with Federal assistance as FEMA,  medical supplies and disaster declarations to pressure governors but I doubt governors will agree to any  "opening" in their states they view as premature and reignite infections..
How is it possible???
4 countries which trusted in natural herd immunity not lockdowns, Japan,Taiwan, Brazil and Belarus, combined population of 372 million people had 1,189 Corona deaths as of April 12, 2020.  The USA with ********type controls had 18,518 deaths.  Stay home?  Wrong
Total tests done in US 2.98 millionTotal population of US 331 millionThere’s your data. Everyone stay home!!!
anilized death data... gentleman
that wont tell you what stage of spreading we are in. There is not enough data to make the decision, but if we go back early that death number could be made unnecessrily higher.
He's a fool and will cause great death. Much of the US has not even been exposed to the virus yet. It will rebound and simply prolong the misery.
Open up
why open the economy when trump can just keeping printing money and buying stocks? lockdown has been a benefit for team trump. they bought out small bussiness and bailed out the airlines for the 100th time.
silence
The EMPEROR has spoken!  he has total authority over the WORLD!  Glory be his greatness. He would rather *****millions than lose this next election.  He need this economy at peak performance even if it means a few sacrifices.  What is more important, the little peoples insignificant life or TRUMP maintaining his thrown?
its really like smoking 20 years?
how afected the lungs are after recovering?
so far no one can tell me how they plan to keep the infected quarantined. how do you know infected ones aren't going to be out there to infect other on purpose? someone with mild symptoms got nothing to lose when out of his home but plenty of stuff to enjoy.
Because of that, this time we need a mandatory instruments. Like China or Australia, maybe heavy fine would be effective way maybe
"....It has to be driven by the data from our health specialists." --- well, it should, but of course it won't, Trump will do his normal "ignore the experts" routine and go with his gut feeling and tweet out his decision without consulting or even telling anyone else....
"We having plato, let's go to work" tomorrow trump
...after he gauges stock market
Only one percent of the population has been tested.
