Before US can end coronavirus lockdown, here's what needs to happen

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

States across the US are extending lockdown orders to slow the spread of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Schools and businesses are shuttered. Major events, including the Democratic National Convention and college basketball's March Madness tournament, have been postponed or called off. Millions of people are out of work.

Amid the upheaval, a panel of experts has begun to examine what it will take to reopen America. Rather than forecast when that might happen, the group identified the conditions the country needs to meet before it can restore something approximating normalcy. The conditions include adequate testing for COVID-19, ensuring that hospitals can treat all patients and pinpointing individuals who have been in contact with someone infected with the disease. Crucially, the team wants to see a sustained decrease in coronavirus cases for at least 14 days, the maximum incubation time for infection.

Pretty much what we already know but Trump keeps whining that it's not his responsibility.

1. Yet, while encouraging republican governors to open

their states now he is also willing to throw any under the bus, who open up.

2. Which is why Trump needs to be removed. He's in the way.

4. Yes, we need competent leadership to get us out of this.

Which we currently do not have.

3. Those tests need to have this...

Think about the pregnancy tests you can find in drug stores and grocery stores. That's how prevalent these tests must be. That's how easy these tests must be. That's how fast these tests must be.

Absent that, our government offers us bullshit.
