The U.S. is not even 'remotely prepared' to re-open, an expert said on Tuesday as some states are set to lift lockdowns that had been imposed to contain the coronavirus outbreak.

However, the ongoing lack of testing capabilities is one of the main factors keeping many families, employers and institutions from resuming business, even though stay-at-home orders have officially been lifted in several states.that the country at large is not seeing a decline in coronavirus infections and that there needs to be more testing.

Testing 2% of people in each state monthly would be a major jump — roughly 1.6% of the U.S. population has been tested in total so far, according to theYet some experts say the country needs to perform closer to 20 million to 30 million tests a day to begin getting the economy back to normal, due to concerns about pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic transmission.

"If you begin reopening before you have the ability know who's sick, or frankly, before those people have the ability to know they have it, you run into enormous risks," added Konyndyk.

Mandate testing at U.S. airports to stop the spread of the virus. DontFlyWithoutCovidTesting AmericanAir Delta SouthwestAir united emirates XpresSpa CDCDirector

I like the word expert. I prefer the synonym cognoscenti.

LindsayTedds We will monitor how the experiments in TX/GA/OH unfold

Funny. “Expert”.

What happened to goal of flattening the curve? Now it is protecting everyone from ever coughing again

Government control is not an option we as a country need to open back up. If it up to the left stream media we will never reopen .

He must be a Dem like all others who want to Bankrupt the Country bc Trump is the President! F... Off!!!

B.s..

And Sweden is? Never closed down. Stop being so political. BS. Liberal socialist media. Sweden didn’t want to hurt economy to the point, Democrats want in USA. People need jobs. You can’t keep printing money! Debt is not free. Taxes will go up on ALL classes for years. Fact.

Dont understand the testing..... you can test negative today, and pick up the virus tomorrow somewhere. You cant test a person everyday

yes we are. open up.

Well of course not. But people keep yelling about it because they let the GOP play on their angst again instead of holding them accountable for how poorly they've supporting the actual economy through this. They threw all kinds of $ at rich folks and hung us up to dry.

Restaurants can be started in OPEN AIR RESTAURANT model at countryside, building top or any open area.

CNBC you’re just as bad or even worse than msdnc bc you’re supposed to be business news but you’re also frauds

Seem to be handing out expert titles like analyst neckties StockCats

Everybody seems to be an expert. Other so call experts say we are ready to open up.

FakeNewsMedia trying to suppress economic success for political purposes...

Just watch us. I really don’t care. Time to look out for myself.

Because as we have learned experts must know everything except when they don’t

Idiot

Why, what is supposed to happen if we reopen?

Most of Amwerica is open and we love it!

'Expert'.🤣

who made viruses and are side effects?

I agree but the people are pressuring the government's this is becoming social political and we may get a hell of a lot more casualties in certain groups. The healthy will be fine but they may be the risk to others

The so called experts have missed on all counts and cnbc just keeps spreading the propaganda. Don’t be sheep!

That depends on the experts you consult. These Doctors on the frontlines of testing say the opposite. Why are their opinions being ignored? What interest does NBC have in hurting the US economy?

In theory, US can open its economy at anytime, but the gov has been unable to manage the crisis after 2 months. Now the WS speculates on trump who miserably failed to control the pandemic crisis. His bad turns worse, and worse turns to crook. People are living on his crooks.

Right. You have to get the number of domestic infections down to zero, or as close to zero as possible. But the US is trying to open up its economy when there are thousands of new cases a day.

Fake news

PK2451167992 Thank god you aren’t in charge.

Texas will teach all the other states ... NY, CA & Illinois will try and lead from behind🤣

That's because they got Half-Witted Trump as leader whom is clueless till today!

bashycrypto “Can’t open up” yet we can all go to Lowe’s and Home Depot daily and be shoulder to shoulder & we can go through drive through fast food where the workers use the same gloves for an entire shift to grab our debt cards and cross contaminate that to the next person paying.

Of course trump knows but he's looking for an upturn in the economy so he can sell his base on his ability to bring it back. We know it really means 2-300,000 more people will die so he can MAYBE win. He is a fecking ghoul.

There are few subsidies from the Japanese government to the people Most of them are loans People are exhausted At the same time as the infection

Japan still has few inspections The expert is sounding the alarm

People who are able to work shouldn’t be able to have a say.

Japan too Many companies are not able to work remotely The number of infected people is increasing

Questionable opinion .Gloves, masks, face shields , infra red thermometers and anti bacterial Hand sanitizers now available. Not that expensive to put into use.

I don’t understand how people don’t know this it’s gonna get crazy, people are dumb enough to go right back into public gatherings

bashycrypto 🖕🏼❗

The shut down was meant to flatten the curve. Not wait out the virus. This is ridiculous.

We are NOT all NYC

So why going to beaches?

LindsayTedds Of course it isn't. Will that stop them? Of course not.

Bull

Its going to open up CNBC wait and watch

Certain areas in different states might be. But the entire country. No

You’re telling us something we already know

Nobody is, it’s FALSE HOPE. TheGreaterDepression
