Jackson MS – In an interview on Cavuto Live Governor Tate Reeves said there’s an urgent need to re-open the Mississippi economy, last Saturday. He said that Americans can’t wait for a coronavirus vaccine or more extensive testing.
“We can’t wait until there’s a cure to this or wait until every single person can get tested every single day to open up our economy. We have serious mental health issues going on in this country right now. And we also have a serious economic crisis going on in this country right now.”

Demonstrations Across the United States
The interview came amid demonstrations scattered across the United States calling to lift social distancing and stay-at-home rules. At least two states, Florida and South Carolina have already eased restrictions, including reopening beaches.
President Trump threw his support behind protesters in Minnesota, Michigan, and Virginia who oppose stay-at-home orders meant to curb the spread of the virus, calling to “liberate” those states.

As the United States continues to have the largest Coronavirus infections and deaths in the world, President Trump has devised a three-step plan to reopen America.
