While most of the high-profile reopening pushes have come from Republican governors, most notably Texas Gov. Greg Abbot and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp — who have both faced heavy fire from Democrats and left-leaning media outlets for their attempts to get residents “back to work” — some Democratic governors are also making moves to begin the process of returning to some degree of “normalcy” after the economy-devastating widespread lockdowns.
In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, the day Colorado’s initial “Stay At Home” order officially expired, Colorado’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis defended his decision to move forward with reopening plans, citing a need to shift to something more “sustainable” — both “economically” and “psychologically.”
While Polis said that, of course, he would love to have “next week’s information and next month’s information” today, that’s simply “not the world we live in — we have to make the best informed decisions, based on data and science, with the information we have,” he said, as reported by Politico.
While Tapper brought up the “theoretical” potential for more deaths as a result of the easing of social distancing measures, Polis defended the state’s staged reopening by repeatedly emphasizing the concept of sustainability. The current lockdowns, he suggested are ultimately not “sustainable.”
