OPINION:
President Trump was too cowardly to lock down our country to try to slow down the coronavirus, which has cost thousands of lives — but he now claims he has the authority to end the lockdown (“States confront practical dilemmas on reopening economies,” Web, Apri 14). Sorry, Mr. Trump, but that authority has already passed you by.
Even if Mr. Trump gave the order to open up the country now, no one would listen to him. It is just too dangerous. It is up to the governors to reopen our country, especially since it was governors who locked down our country to combat the coronavirus.
