What's the White House's plan, anyway?

@jon-nyc I assume you're talking about opening up the economy.
In another thread, Jolly commented that at least half a dozen governors are talking about easing restrictions.
Whose responsibility is it? State governors or the federal government?

The Feds can advise. The Governors have the power, just as they have the lockdown power.

WOuldn't you have thought the CDC would have some sort of plan in existence, or at least the outline of one? I mean, not the capacity to execute it necessarily, but wouldn't you think they've 'war gamed' this stuff at some point?

Knowing the CDC, maybe not.

To be fair, we could have did ask that question three weeks ago and let’s look at where we are today versus what people where saying. We should at least do a gap analysis so we can have more confidence against the new dire predictions of not knowing what the problem is, how to mitigate and what to do.

With all due respect to President Trump, I think I'll wait and see what the MA Governor and my company management have to say.

Mr. Trump is wrong. He can advise, he cannot compel.
Of course, he owns some mighty big sticks and carrots.

That might have been his most boneheaded tweet yet. specially after putting a lot of responsibility on governors to get their own PPE. Very, very bad move and it will come back on him n November.

He really is his own worst enemy. His opponents would be better off gently tweaking him like this, and letting him go off on a tear and making himself look insecure, than attacking full frontal, which is what he enjoys.
It's a bit like those family meals where you see if you can get certain relatives to go off an a rant by just dropping a couple of words into the conversation about national service, or The Empire or something.

Indeed. It takes a lot of effort to distinguish what he does from what he says. If he could just STFU....

Isn't this typical Trump?
IT'S MY DECISION. Then the media goes crazy.
Then after awhile, he talks about how he is working with and listening to governors, agrees with them, they cringe and then compliment him, the media gets played while trying to understand federalism and the commerce clause, while trying to trap him.
Strong, decisive, yet open to collaboration along the way. See you in November.
