And really, no one can argue with them on that. A governor or president can order businesses closed, they can lift that order, but they can't force businesses to go back to work before the business leaders and customers are ready to.
What governments need to do is clarify the new rules of the road for businesses. For example companies that used to be heavily restricted on how they can use health information are now going to need to test all their employees, make decisions based on those test results, provide protective medical equipment, etc.
They're not - most of the megaregions are forming interstate compacts to coordinate medium to long term strategy. Colorado and Nevada just joined the Western States Pact which CA/OR/WA started a few weeks ago around the same time the East Coast created their own. I think the Great Lakes states have one as well.
The top is, well, obviously, useless.
State leadership is all doing different things, which is, in some ways, a good thing, but I don't hear much in a concrete way about what the plan is to address this all over the next 12-18 months. We hear a lot about when we'll "open things back up" or phased re-openings, but nothing whatsoever about a strategy -- THESE are the tests we'll use, THIS antibody test to let people work THOSE jobs, THIS kind of contact tracing.
I'm not quite sure if the states are hoping the federal government will come out with some unifying strategy/process/materials/procedures at some point, or what, but it sure ain't happening.
