Health secretary says "window is closing" to get coronavirus under control

[Igel]

16. In May we had this discussion.

Trump said he'd reopen the country.

With one, rarely united voice, the governors (and pundits, etc., etc.) said that Trump did not have the legal authority to do this.

What's now not a secret message was what they themselves were yelling over a month ago. I'm sure they heard what they were saying.

But I still think what I thought in March: You do what you need to do when you need to do it, you don't impose restrictions to prevent something that isn't predicted and unlikely to happen. People in NYC wanted to close the country when NYC was hit hard. Now we have NYC saying that while they should be cautious, why should they let what's happening in the SW affect their plans? Get the asymmetry?

Meanwhile, I've read today that while the number of dead due to COVID in the US is surging as a result of the reopening, the number of dead due to COVID in the US continues to decline. And that, my friend, is the level of reporting that we have come to demand and that the purveyors of ruth have consented to provide.
