States can't fully reopen until the virus is under control. You don't like it, but that's the way it is. States that moved too quickly to do what you are suggesting are being forced to pull back now, meaning that businesses are again being shuttered. That's the reality of the world we live in now. Even Trump, dimwit that he is, seems to finally understand this.

Sure states can reopen. Let hospitals deal with those that get sick. Only people that are saying we can't reopen are Democrats. They would rather have high unemployment numbers so that Trump do not win which he will anyway as public trust him to make America great again.

Yeah, all those Democrats leading states like Idaho, Arizona, Florida, Texas, Tennessee and Louisiana, all of which have closed down after a brief reopening due to the spike in cases. Damn Democrats!

You can whine about Democrats all you want, but reality is that the country has so far been unsuccessful in reopening because people are too stupid, whining about "muh freedumb!" to make it possible.

Donnie has done this to himself by being so stupidly obstinate, digging his heels in, and dragging his dimwitted supporters with him. And here we are.

They switched to measuring likely voters in the weeks before the election.
I have no idea why, but they all did.

There is no evidence, because it didn't happen. Like nearly everything else Trump and his supporters claim, it's just make up BS.
