In a three-phased approach, to mitigate risk of a resurgence, White House issued a state-wide implementable approach at goverr’s discretion for Opening Up America Again, as formal 18-ps document has been titled. Trump laid out a vision at round table to pivot from pandemic to restore pre-coronavirus rmalcy — “with or without” a vaccine, as he said.

Anuncing state-by-state formal plan at a press conference streamed online, President Trump said, "America wants to be open and Americans want to be open. A national shutdown is t a sustainable long-term solution." Furr, he ded, “healthy citizens would be able to return to work as conditions allow" while speaking at round table. “I don’t want people to get used to this,” Trump told US reporters. “I see new rmal being what it was three months ago.”
