How about the Commander-in-Chief and his family, his Cabinet, Mike Pence, Republicans in Congress and their families lead the charge with their bodies to reopen America

While red-Chinese factories, some American-owned, pump out products Americans need, I shopped in an Asian grocery market, where I buy survival staples: brown rice, sesame seeds, seaweed, dried fish, Asian herbs and condiments.

I immagine Trump wants schools, day care centers, summer camps open, so parents can return to work.

  Mariola Magdalena No thank you. I’ll wait until I hear from the governors about what their public health officials are recommending on how to handle the re-opening on a state-to-state basis. He didn’t lock us down, the governors did. He has no say... 👋🏼

  Su Gaddis-Koferl He will “authorize” the governors, and then will “hold the governors accountable”. Interesting way of saying “I make all the decisions, but accept no blame for the consequences of those decisions.”

  Peggy Eddington "He added: “We will hold the governors accountable."
  
  Cool. When does he get held accountable?

  Judy Obrian Well FEMA Washington DC office has some virus in their office which required quarantining and testing today. Perhaps they should figure it out in their own building before instructing the rest of the nation.
