S. Where the president is suggesting some states could reopen for business within weeks but is covered 1000 keep spreading Democratic HouseSpeaker Nancy Pelosi says more testing needs to be done and gallacher reports its what President Donald Trump calls a science based plan to get the United States back on its feet hes issued guidelines in 3 phases that advise each state when they can begin to reopen and what doctors say will be a new normal america wants to be open and americans want to be open as ive said for some time now and their show shutdown is not a sustainable long term solution. To preserve the health of our citizens we must also preserve the health. And functioning of our economy over the long haul the 1st phase calls for social distancing and for schools and businesses to remain closed but some larger venues including restaurants and movie theaters could reopen if states see a steady decline in coronavirus cases they can move to phase 2 in which schools some businesses including bars could open big gatherings remain limited the 3rd phase will allow workers to go back to their jobs and for at risk people to continue to take precautions we took the greatest economy in the history of the world and weve closed it in order to win this war and were in the process of winning it now our approach outlines 3 phases in restoring Economic Life we are not opening all at once but one careful step at a time democratic speaker of the house nancy pelosi called the plan vague an inconsistent citing concerns over the need for Rapid Testing oh the corona virus has taken a harsh toll on the u. S. More than 30000 people have died and there have been over 600000 confirmed cases 22000000 people are now out of work wiping out a decade of job growth President Trump says the u. S. Will be back and greater than ever but this is a delicate process that comes down to a state by state county by county basis some states manta phase one as early as friday others face a far longer slog Business Leaders governors and scientists warn a shortfall in testing could hamper efforts to reopen the country that decision now lies with each states governor in some States Coronavirus case is a yet to peak and as a risk of the virus making a comeback in the months ahead personal Protection Equipment for Health Workers is still in short supply but even if you are in phase one tooth. 3 its not ok game over its not its going to be a way that we protect ourselves because as we know and as ive said from this podium it may very well be as we go the cycle around that theyll be this virus that once the come back to us i think were going to be able to handle it this is a cautious approach to reopen the Worlds Largest economy something President Trump has long wanted to do the challenges for each state a huge the dangers of making the wrong decision now crucial and as yet theres still no vaccine and a gallica aljazeera offer more on this lets go to our White House CorrespondentKelly Holcomb in washington d. C. And kembali i think its about midmorning in washington d. C. And donald trump has been tweeting whats he been saying. Yeah the u. S. President is bristling it appears at some of the criticism of his guidance he sent to the governors for trying to reopen the economy so as he often does he is pointing the fingers back at those who may be making those criticisms one of them is House Speaker nancy pelosi the u. S. President tweeting in just the last 15 minutes or so today people started losing their jobs because of crazy nancy pelosi crying Chuck Schumer and the radical left do nothing democrats who should immediately come back to washington and approve legislation to help families in america endure endless vacation let me translate what hes talking about there there was a program in place by congress as part of that rescue package for ordinary americans 350000000000 in Small Business loans to allow Small Businesses to keep workers on their payroll the money ran out congress didnt authorize 250000000000 more and so now the u. S. President is angry and criticizing Congress Accusing them because theyre in recess at the moment of being on an endless vacation but what seems to be of also getting them under the president s skin is the criticism coming from Top Democrats that he name there with regard to his guidance to the states for reopening the u. S. Economy there is this fear among democrats that this may be premature that the Health Threat is far greater than the economic threat and in fact democrats are calling for more widespread testing and we know that this is a gap in the plan that has been issued by the white house so far there is no National Testing plan that will allow workers to know they can safely return to the workplace there are also no plans in place to address the need for the Additional Health care workers in order to issue these tests and minute these minister these tests repeatedly perhaps so this is one of the big criticisms the president seems to be bristling against that defending his plan as being science based something that democrats have demanded and thats why they have these phases of reopening but again the u. S. President. Under criticism by Top Democrats and seems to be pointing the finger is trying to deflect some of that blame hes not just pointing the finger at members of congress hes also tweeted about the World Health Organization once again asking the question why the World Health Organization may have missed the signals from taiwanese officials that there was human to human transmission expect that the u. S. President will continue to point the fingers as his as his own response has once again come into the spotlight in terms of public response can be halted in washington d. C.
