FOX: Oklahoma is set to become the latest state to reopen some businesses on Friday amid the coronavirus pandemic after Gov. Kevin Stitt announced that hair salons, spas, nail salons and pet groomers can open their doors.
Stitt’s announcement, in which he said that the shops will be open by appointment only and will have to maintain social distancing and “strict sanitation protocols,” comes as a number of states have moved to reopen their economies as the country continues to battle the coronavirus pandemic that has sickened more than 839,000 people and killed almost 40,000.
“We rolled out a three-phased reopening plan,” Stitt said during an interview Wednesday afternoon on Fox News’ “Your World with Neil Cavuto.” “A very measured reopening plan. Because the intent of my 15 executive orders was to flatten the curve and build capacity in our hospitals. And you’re seeing that.”
The governor said the state peaked March 30 with 560 people in the hospital and “that trend has gone down.”
“Today we have 298 across the state in the hospital with COVID related symptoms,” Stitt said. “So we feel good right now. We’re gonna be data driven.”
Stitt added that more businesses — including restaurants, movie theaters, gyms and churches — can reopen May 1 and that the state is adhering to the White House’s three-phase plan for reopening. read more
Stalling the economy is like stalling an airplane. The longer you wait to do something about it, the more likely you will crash it. Just open everything back up nationwide.
Gads, I pray that American businesses and their customers have had enough of this shit!
Open your business when you are sure you are ready. To hell with this crap. Get some balls like the Mayor of Las Vegas!
You are adults and don’t need these commie bastard nanny statists‘ permission, you have the business license and pay the business tax. Go for it.
Good.
As such examples pour in proving that the sky is not falling, then we will see a mad rush to open up America.
