7 Midwest governors form bi-partisan partnership to coordinate post-COVID-19 economy. Iowa's governor chose not to participate.
Seven Midwest Governors Illinois JB Pritzker, Michigans Gretchen Whitmer, Ohios Mike DeWine, Wisconsins Tony Evers, Minnesotas Tim Walz, Indianas Eric Holcomb and Kentuckys Andy Beshear announced Thursday they will work in close coordination to reopen the economy in the Midwest region. Eastern and Western states governors have also met to coordinate their states economies reopening.
Our Number One priority when analyzing when best to reopen our economy is the health and safety of our citizens, the governors statement read. We will make decisions based on facts, science and recommendations from experts in health care, business, labor and education.
We will closely examine at least these four factors when determining when best to reopen our economy: sustained control of the rate of new infections and hospitalizations; enhanced ability to test and trace; sufficient health care capacity to handle resurgence; and best practices for social distancing in the workplace.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds will not be part of the partnership.

(21,856 posts)statewide stay at home order and the only reason it took him so long is he didn't want to hurt his business partners' businesses in the state of MO. Although I can't for the life of me figure out where he thought customers were going to come from, when everyone with a brain were all staying at home and being safe.
In what world does a business environment operate when it's not safe? How the f**k do I know it is safe to go to your shop or business and shop, when I don't know if you are infected or not?
Idiot Parsons...should be his nickname from now on. It's funny that the republican-controlled state legislative houses haven't said a damn thing either during this crisis, or I've missed it.
Take care Sherman A1...be safe.

I believe he also mentioned a second group, as well.
