Trump hopes COVID-19 restrictions lifted by Easter. Missouri governor says it's unlikely

Source: KC Star

Parson continues to face criticism for his decision not to issue a statewide stay-at-home order.

Missouri’s urban centers, including Kansas City and St. Louis, are under stay-at-home orders restricting residents to remain in their homes except for essential activities, such as going to the grocery store.

Over the last week, Parson has been urged to follow suit by local officials, public health authorities and doctors.

So far he’s rebuffed those calls, echoing Trump’s message that it could do too much damage to the state’s economy.

I think it is 2 Sundays after rabbits come out of hibernation So it depends on an early spring to come in March. But if you have a late snowstorm and the rabbits go underground it gets delayed until April..
I hope this clears things up .

Until Tuesday, there had been little daylight between Parson and Trump on the virus.

On March 12, for example, Parson downplayed the government’s role in dealing with COVID-19, telling KMOX-AM in St. Louis that “It’s not going to come down to the government to be able to fix this, it’s just gonna come to... it’s a virus, it’s a virus like anything else.”

Because they certainly aren't at the national level. God help us if Chump's plan goes through.
