Front line in the fight against the virus. And arch gets a quarantine make over a russian Facebook Group is recruiting pets partners and household props to reimagine some classics on campus. And makes pfizer welcome to the program. U. S. President donald trump says healthy americans will be able to get back to work as soon as local conditions allow trump has set out plans for a phased return to normal daily life in the United States he says the reopening would be done one careful step at a time but he also said that american states free of the virus can open in his words literally tomorrow but my administration is issuing new federal guidelines that will allow governors to take a phased and deliberate approach to reopening their individual states ive dealt with them now a long time and weve had a great relationship democrat and republican the relationship has been good this strategy is based on hard verifiable data and did have you correspond Stephan Simmons joins us now from washington for more now stephen can you break down the president s plan for us. Sure so most of fort lee those guidelines are not mandatory those are guidelines thats really really important but it is a 3 phase plane and the most important phase is the 1st place the face why because phase 2 and 3 just expands whats happening in according and as wished by the trumpeters ration in phase one and that is that every state every mayor every local government needs to make sure that there is for 14 days no increase in infections so the infections rate has to be stable or or go down if possible number 2 of course in this phase teleworking still not mandatory but recommended who can work from home should work from home the biggest thing here is reopening the economy on a micro or a local level and that means large menus can reopen according to the president larger venues large enough to be absolutely strict on social distancing lots restaurants even large gyms and that is i guess the biggest takeaway from this again phase 2 and 3 will increase will loosen those regulations a little bit more those not mandatory but suggested regulations a little bit more it is all in the hands of the governors and the and the local authorities now and the big question is how do you do this without large testing thats the key now testing testing testing otherwise you have no idea where this virus is and how far it infiltrated and got into society at all you know big challenges ahead that lets just push pause here and rewind the beginning of the week to understand things if you dont mind on monday trump claimed total authority to open state economies now he says its up to the governors so what happens. You know there was a little bit of a king donald moment there i dont know what happened well of course experts and political observers here they have a good guess what happened is somebody or a lot of people must have told the president that thats absolutely unconstitutional he has not absolute authority on telling anybody what to do this states the governors are this is a federalist country here its a union United States of america that means the governors are in charge of actually taking those recommendations thats why again recommendation not a mandatory. Rule or a law or something the feds could or could install there they are in charge the local governments and even down to the mayors theyre in charge and. Maybe a 360 or 180 degree change to what he just was portraying himself on a monday still being in absolute power and with absolute authority thats not the case still though i think we sense a keenness on trumps part too to bring things back to normal are people in washington saying this is partly because of elections in november. I mean you going to hear this in the next few hours to come all that a lot of people will suggest that saying look the push to the pedal here the speeding up of possible loosening of what worked so far even if the. Numbers are on the rise still works so far because the curse go down the social distancing and those restrictions pushing those away really really quickly is of course beneficial for donald trump because he has of course in mind to come out of this stronger and stronger if possible than he was before right before november when its time for president ial elections and course going fast brings a lot of risks as weve learned another country stephens hymens in washington thank you for that.
