Stay the Course by Staying At Home

When should cities and states relax stay-at-home orders?  Two new polls suggest that the vast majority of Americans don't want to relax the Covid-19 restrictions until science and common sense prevail.

A CBS News/YouGov poll released today makes it clear that Americans don't think Trump should decide when to relax the restrictions.  They prefer leaving that decision to state and local government.  Only 19% believe that Trump should make decisions regarding re-opening their state's economy.  

Only 7% of those polled believe that Trump should be encouraging his MAGA fascist supporters in their "open our states and let old people die" efforts.  A resounding 55% believe that Trump should "discourage" these kind of protests in states.  And, 38% believe that, at the very least, he should just shut up about the protests.
