He& #39;s lying again.
Public health experts - including Trump& #39;s former FDA commish - have been calling SINCE MARCH to transition to a test/trace/isolate strategy that would enable a safe rollback of closures. Trump ignored it all.

Here& #39;s former Trump official @ScottGottliebMD along with @cmyeaton laying out a safe reopening plan back in March. https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD/status/1244256024409903106?s=20">https://twitter.com/ScottGott...
Here& #39;s @ashishkjha and @aaronecarroll calling for a similar strategy - again, in March. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/how-we-beat-coronavirus/608389/">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/arc...
Here& #39;s me, @BethCameron_DC, and @dylanbgeorge making a similar appeal on April 5: https://www.thedailybeast.com/coronavirus-shows-we-need-an-apollo-project-for-public-health?ref=author">https://www.thedailybeast.com/coronavir...
Here& #39;s a similar plan from @dsallentess, @LawrenceGostin, and many others from April as well: https://ethics.harvard.edu/Covid-Roadmap ">https://ethics.harvard.edu/Covid-Roa...
There were numerous others.
No public health expert - like, literally, none of them - has ever wanted indefinite lockdown.
What we& #39;ve wanted, and shouted for until we were hoarse, was a plan for ending lockdowns without letting cases & deaths explode again.
Trump decided to just skip that part.

And his play since April - which @SWAtlasHoover is gamely mimicking - is to make you think there was no other option.
That the only choice is between indefinite lockdown or uncontrolled spread.
That& #39;s bullshit. Wasn& #39;t true in April/May; isn& #39;t true now. https://twitter.com/JeremyKonyndyk/status/1258240264780611584?s=20">https://twitter.com/JeremyKon...

It& #39;s not just a choice of door A, we let a lot of people die, door B, we keep the country closed through 2021.
We can build a door C in which we reopen without killing a few hundred thousand more people.

So what Trump and @SWAtlasHoover are telling you by pushing this false choice is that they can& #39;t be bothered to do that.
