and it will be bad. Then they will have learned their lesson(over the bodies of the dead). Most people don't believe it's as bad as it is and won't until it hurts them personally.

4. Governors of red states will be forcing people back to work too early

Without adequately testing . This will cause many more outbreaks , and deaths. This will turn those states bluer, a lot bluer. trump will pressure them with threats or face his revenge hurting all people of their states to open or else. Your life means nothing to trump and the gop , and its all about trump and them getting re-elected. This Nov. they'll regret doing this, and under funding the American people directly while giving billions again to the wealthy and to the large corporations instead of small business owners, and the American people.

Governor Kristi Noem has so far rejected a stay-at-home order; effectively allowing the state’s economy to keep on rolling with few restrictions.

If we use the Smithfield processing plant as an example:

“The latest numbers show there are 598 cases related directly to Smithfield employees and an additional 135 cases related to contacts of Smithfield cases. That creates a total of 733 cases connected to the plant.”

Additionally; they are struggling with testing; only testing individuals who fall into a high risk category and exhibiting one or more physical symptoms.

The rush to restart manufacturing or the service economy is going to be devastating without 100% testing with antibody screening or a vaccine.

Cuomo yesterday said that restarting NYS could be an 18 month process without a vaccine that would require 100% testing procedures in order to return to a near normal economy in New York.
