There were federal guidelines, and not a single state meet even the gating criteria for the first phase of opening, before moving into phase 2. Each gating criteria required two weeks of downward trajectories before moving to the next phase.

So while it absolutely is true that those guidelines were undermined by the orange idiot running around screaming liberate Michigan (etc.), It is also true that no state followed the federal guidelines.
