President Trump and the coronavirus task force introduced phased guidelines to help states and communities get back to normal – or as close to it as possible. There is no timeline for implementation. It will be up to governors and local leaders to decide when and how to get back to business. Some states, the president said, could be ready tomorrow, while others, like New York and New Jersey, will take significantly longer.

“The last thing we want …to come back too soon. We want them to come back when they’re ready.”

Task force officials emphasized that “science” and “common sense” formed the foundation of the administration’s re-opening guidelines.  

Steve Moore, an outside advisor to President Trump and a member of the president's "re-opening" task force, is Major's guest. His view: restart the economy immediately or risk even greater consequences.
