at Federal level and local levels drastically need things to be forced back open regardless of the Covid19. If for no other reason than lost tax revenue. What's a few deaths compared to money??????????

I remember when Denver International Airport was shut down for a couple of days years ago due to a blizzard. The Mayor of Denver went berserk.....He said the tax revenue lost was 17 million a day. Not taxes ON 17 Million, Taxes OF 17 million.
Then, besides the loss of Taxes, Denver had a humongous bill to clear the snow on all the tarmacs and runways........

The States are particularly vulnerable, their budgets obliterated, and then Trump tells them that they are on their own, and shouldn't require bailouts or money from his Republican Controlled Tyranny in Washington.
