Darn those 9th and 10th Amendments, Trump declared that he will override governors to allow places of worship to reopen this weekend. Because they are essential businesses. “We need more prayer, not less”.
Trump left Deborah Birx in the lurch to try to rationalize such a declaration in today’s presser. The several dimensions of this are the 1200 pastors who called upon Trump to act as well as the use of the Memorial Day weekend holiday. He needed to offset the news that Hydroxycholoroquine is even more lethal.
Governors and religious leaders should follow the advice of public health experts and epidemiologists to prevent the spread of infection. Everyone wants to go back to church, including me, but not at the risk of increased infection and death, especially among the most vulnerable

Media: @priteshgandhimd to @brikeilarcnn on @realDonaldTrump demanding churches open: “Another uninspiring and angry message from a president who has continually denied science and public health. And now we hear mixed messaging from @deborahbirxMD @CDCgov #Trump. It's a mess.” pic.twitter.com/T63R78i4i4
