He's appeasing his voter base! He doesn't want them cooped up and getting pissed at him.
If his stated motive is to get the economy going, how much to low population areas add to the GDP?
And forget logistics. You gonna test everyone in your county? And make sure no one goes in or out? And what about deliveries from hot spots?

Stay well.

I wish Biden would pick someone with the greatest potential to turn TX blue, be it man or woman.

(42,770 posts)gonna help the Dow if it's opened up? Just heard him say, "opening up large parts of US" he's
talking geographically. No big deal, unless it's close to a populated area - hot spot. It's all
political bullshit.

You could fit the entire population of Nye County into RFK stadium and have seats leftover.
A lot of Texas is the same way.
Yes, it's just political bullshit.
