"The Trump administration will not implement the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 17-page draft recommendation for reopening America, a senior CDC official confirmed to CNN Thursday."

The guidance provided more detailed suggestions beyond the reopening guidelines the administration had put forth last month, including specific suggestions for schools and churches. President Donald Trump in recent days has emphasized the need to quickly reopen the American economy despite public health officials’ urgings for a more cautious approach.

The draft document included specific guidance for six categories: child care programs; schools and day camps; communities of faith; employers with vulnerable workers; restaurants and bars; mass transit administrators. For each category, the draft document notes reopening in phases.

But the White House has been subject to an intensive lobbying effort from certain sectors that were looking to influence the guidelines, the senior CDC official said. And Trump publicly signaled last week that he was unlikely to sign off on guidelines that recommended a return to an altered way of life.

1. Bad to acknowledge death. Better to deflect, ignore, repute, blame others. He is playing with fire.

2. Donny Bodybags does not control "reopening America." He says whether Federal jobs

go back to work.

The rest is up to us.

3. I'm shocked, shocked! Well not that shocked!

4. Not shocked at all.

He's not implementing what he's not authorized to implement.

They're guidelines. I'm sure that if Trump tried to tell Newsom how to open California, Newsom would have a few choice words. Because, Newsom would add, under the system the US has governors have that authority, not the president.

6. Unfortunately it's going to take one time for the death toll to go up again, if the CDC ...

recommendations are ignored by businesses etc. per rump's desire to reopen businesses back up. This is why on the 4th wave of CV stimulus bills currently being worked on in Congress should continue the requirements that businesses face liabilities for bad decisions made during the CV epidemic (the republicans as usual, want to strip this consumer protection away, so no recourse against companies that messed up isn't allowed).

Stay strong, Nancy Pelosi and fellow democratic legislators. Don't allow Moscow Mitch and rump to strip this vital protection for consumers away.

And the good of Big Business, he’ll choose Big Business every time.
