On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that right now, there aren’t any good plans for what the world will look like when the economy reopens and a good plan to reopen is something that has to be figured out.
Brooks said, “We need to know what phase two is. We know we’re going to hunker down for a while. We’ve got to know what the world is going to look like when we come out of this. And there are no good plans out there.”
He added that the current plans “tend to focus on massive amounts of testing, way more tests than we have right now, and then tracing…that kind of pulling out of this is incredibly daunting, but it’s something we’re going to have to figure out as we slowly emerge from this.”
Brooks further stated that he is glad the president is setting up a committee on reopening, but he’s concerned that the committee will just be Trump loyalists.
