Almost at the time that Florida released the beach crown closure on Friday, the beaches were stormed by crowds. Half an hour after the beaches opened, the Florida coast was crowded in many places. This despite the fact that the southeastern state has seen the largest increase in coronavirus cases since the outbreak began.
People visibly enjoyed the freedom they had regained, seemingly without fear of the pandemic, while the President of the United States, Donald Trump (73), publicly supported those who advocate for the end of the crown blockade measures in the states. And in part it garnered strong criticism.
In the series of tweets, Trump called in large print on Thursday: “Liberate Minnesota,” “Liberate Michigan,” and “Liberate Virginia,” with the additional requirement that people must uphold the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution, that is, the right to possess and carry arms. This right is “threatened,” said Trump, who can also be understood as an indirect call for armed resistance.
Arming Trump triggers fire in the dispute between supporters and opponents of protection measures in individual states. It is clear that the criticized states are ruled by hostile Democrats. The fact that numerous people have taken to the streets for a few days to protest against the restrictions imposed on Corona’s departure is perfectly in line with Trump’s worldview.
People took to the streets in Maryland and, despite careful relaxation, in Texas. One of the largest protests took place in Michigan, where protesters, some of them heavily armed, stopped at the State Capitol, waving pro-Trump flags and accusing Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer (48) of “tyranny.” A few dozen protesters also gathered in Virginia, and the image was similar in Minnesota.
According to his series of tweets, Trump explicitly protected these troublemakers. “These are people who express their opinion,” Trump said. “They seem very reasonable people to me.”
“The President was derailed”
Exit restrictions apply in more than 40 of the 50 US states. USA Trump wants these measures to end to restart the economy that has stagnated in many places. However, the power of decision rests with the governors of the individual states.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who is being discussed as a possible vice president for Joe Biden (77), responded to Trump’s tirade on Twitter in the hope that the president “would not encourage more protests.” Michigan will not be under pressure and will only boost the economy “when it is safe.”
The Democratic Governor of Washington State came up with a much sharper pistol. Jay Inslee (69) condemned Trump’s “illegal and dangerous” statements: “It puts millions of people at risk of developing Covid-19. Their ranting concerns and calls for people to ‘free’ states could also lead to violence,” Inslee said. “The president was derailed,” “derailed,” Inslee said.
High unemployment, fewer deaths than feared
The number of crown deaths in the United States rose to just under 38,000 on Saturday, and more than 732,000 people are infected. Unemployment has increased dramatically in the United States since the outbreak of the crown crisis. About 22 million people have applied for unemployment benefits since mid-March alone.
According to Fortune magazine, unemployment in the United States has now reached nearly 15 percent, the highest level since 1940.
The White House still expects 60,000 to 65,000 pandemic deaths in the United States, significantly less than was feared in previous forecasts that at least 100,000 people died. (kes)
