THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, AND WE CLOSED IT IN ORDER TO WIN THIS
WAR, AND WE’RE IN THE PROCESS OF
WINNING IT NOW.
OUR APPROACH OUTLINES THREE
PHASES TO RESTORING OUR ECONOMIC
LIFE.
LIFE. WE ARE NOT OPENING ALL AT ONCE,
BUT ONE CAREFUL STEP AT A TIME.
AND SOME STATES WILL BE ABLE TO
OPEN UP SOONER THAN OTHERS.
SOME STATES ARE NOT IN THE KIND
OF TROUBLE THAT OTHERS ARE IN.
NOW THAT WE HAVE PASSED THE PEAK
IN NEW CASES, WE ARE STARTING
OUR LIFE AGAIN.
WE’RE STARTING REJUVENATION OF
OUR ECONOMY AGAIN.
IN A SAFE AND STRUCTURED AND
VERY RESPONSIBLE FASHION.
OUR STRATEGY WILL CONTINUE TO
PROTECT SENIOR CITIZENS AND
OTHER VULNERABLE POPULATIONS
WHILE ALLOWING MILITARY AND
OTHER GROUPS OF INCREDIBLY
TALENTED PEOPLE TO GO ABOUT
THEIR REAL BUSINESS AND THE
BUSINESS THAT’S SUPPOSED TO BE
HARD AT WORK AT DOING AND NOBODY
DOES IT BETTER.
OUR MILITARY IS THE GREATEST
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, AND WE’RE
SO THANKFUL FOR WHAT THEY HAVE
DONE.
DONE. HEALTHY AMERICANS WILL NOW BE
ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK AS
CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND ALLOW.
INSTEAD OF A BLANKET SHUTDOWN,
WE WILL PURSUE A FOCUS ON
SHELTERING THE HIGHEST RISK
INDIVIDUALS.
INDIVIDUALS. SO IMPORTANT.
SO IMPORTANT. WE’RE ESTABLISHING CLEAR
SCIENTIFIC METRIC AND BENCHMARKS
ON TESTING, NEW CASE GROWTH AND
HOSPITAL CAPACITY THAT MUST BE
MET BEFORE ADVANCING TO EACH
PHASE.
PHASE. AND THAT’S EACH PHASE
SPECIFICALLY IN THE REOPENING OF
OUR COUNTRY.
OUR COUNTRY. THIS IS A GRADUAL PROCESS AS THE
CASELOAD IN A STATE CONTINUES TO
GO DOWN.
GO DOWN. RESTRICTIONS CONTINUE TO BE
EASED AND COME OFF.
THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, CITIZENS
WILL BE CONTINUED TO BE CALLED
ON TO USE ALL OF THEIR WEAPONS
IN THIS WAR.
VIGOROUS HYGIENE, TELEWORKING
WHEN POSSIBLE, STAYING AT HOME
IF YOU FEEL SICK, MAINTAINING
SOCIAL DISTANCE, SANITIZING
COMMONLY USED SURFACES, AND
BEING HIGHLY CONSCIOUS OF THEIR
SURROUNDINGS.
SURROUNDINGS. THOSE ARE OUR WEAPONS, AND
THEY’RE VERY POWERFUL WEAPONS
INDEED.
INDEED. GOVERNORS WILL BE EMPOWERED TO
TAILOR AN APPROACH THAT MEETS
THE DIVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES OF
THEIR OWN STATES.
EVERY STATE IS VERY DIFFERENT.
THEY’RE ALL BEAUTIFUL.
WE LOVE THEM ALL.
BUT THEY’RE VERY, VERY
DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT. IF THEY NEED TO REMAIN CLOSED,
WE WILL ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT.
AND IF THEY BELIEVE IT IS TIME
TO REOPEN, WE WILL PROVIDE THEM
THE FREEDOM AND GUIDANCE TO
ACCOMPLISH THAT TASK, AND VERY,
VERY QUICKLY, DEPENDING ON WHAT
THEY WANT TO DO.
WE ARE ALSO ENCOURAGING STATES
TO WORK TOGETHER TO HARMONIZE
THEIR REGIONAL EFFORTS.
WE’LL HAVE NUMEROUS CASES WHERE
STATES HAVE WORKED AND WILL BE
WORKING VERY, VERY CLOSELY
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. AS WE REOPEN, WE KNOW THAT THERE
WILL BE CONTINUED HARDSHIPS AND
CHALLENGES AHEAD.
CHALLENGES AHEAD. OUR GOAL WILL BE TO QUICKLY
IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS ANY
OUTBREAKS AND PUT THEM RAPIDLY.
IF THE VIRUS RETURNS IN THE
FALL, AS SOME SCIENTISTS THINK
IT MAY POSSIBLY, THESE
GUIDELINES WILL ENSURE THAT OUR
COUNTRY IS UP AND RUNNING SO
THAT WE CAN LIKEWISE PUT IT OUT
QUICKLY.
QUICKLY. AT THE HEART OF OUR STRATEGY IS
THE VITAL ROLE OF MEDICAL
RESEARCH, ESPECIALLY FOR
THERAPIES THAT WILL
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE OUTCOMES
FOR HIGH RISK PATIENTS AND
REDUCE THE NEED FOR URGENT CARE.
