Some parts of the country are seeing new coronavirus outbreaks – but public officials are resisting calls to reimpose lockdowns, seeking to balance public health concerns against wider social and economic issues.
In hard-hit states like Arizona, state officials are currently in no mood to reimpose statewide shutdown:
State health director Cara Christ put a finer point on it, saying the measures that had previously been imposed were designed to ensure that Arizona had enough hospital capacity to deal with an outbreak.
And now?
“We know that it’s in the community,” she said.
“We are not going to be able to stop the spread,” Christ continued. “And so we can’t stop living as well.”
Ducey acknowledged that his efforts have had a two-pronged approach.
“This has always been about saving lives,” he said.
“And it’s also about livelihoods in the state of Arizona,” the governor continued. “We’re going to do this in a balanced and responsible way for the people of Arizona.”
In contrast, New York, site of the largest coronavirus outbreak in the country, is taking a much harsher stance. There, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is threatening to reverse reopenings in some areas because residents aren’t practicing social distancing:
“I am warning today in a nice way: consequences of your actions,” Cuomo said at an Albany press conference, noting businesses can lose their liquor licenses for breaking social-distancing rules. “We have 25,000 complaints statewide. I’m not going to turn a blind eye to them.”

Go ahead Fredo … wreck your state’s economy … see who gives a crap.
Many good comments on this forum…Screw these DemonRats.. lf they can’t have their way with America they will destroy it…
Those who are under that economy will care, after they realize what the consequences will be.
There you have it…
We The People vs shut up and drink the Koolaid.
Liberty vs Tyranny.
The Republicans have let the Democrats get by with murder for decades. When is this going to stop. The Republicans in Congress are just as bad. Talk big, do not hing. There is loads of evidence that the Democrats have broken the laws, over and over. Who is in jail? The Republicans who did nothing wrong. The Democrats are still running loose, continuing their carnage, demonizing the police, egging on riots, looting and burning , and taking over parts of cities, like Seattle and the Democrat Mayors and Governors not only are doing nothing to stop it, but condoning what is happening. Unbelievable. I never thought I’d ever see anything like this.
The need for “herd immunity” needs to be promoted so that uninformed Americans begin to recognize the need to discard their masks. Watch the YouTube “Dr. Daniel W. Erickson suggests sheltering in place decreases your immune system.”
When Cuomo was elected it was a very dark day for NY
If you end up with nothing to come back to, what good is a lockdown that destroys your job, your savings, and the companies where people work?
