'The President's continued insistence on moving forward without testing, contact tracing, demographic data collection and a respect for science and the facts risks further death and economic disaster,' Pelosi said Thursday.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday criticized President Donald Trump's guidelines for reopening parts of the U.S. by calling the plan"vague and inconsistent."
"As I have said for some time now, a national shutdown is not a sustainable long term solution," Trump said at a news briefing Thursday."To preserve the health of our citizens, we must also preserve the health and functioning of our economy. Over the long haul, you can't do one without the other." However, the number of available tests in the U.S. has come into question as governors and other lawmakers say the U.S. testing system is not comprehensive enough to reopen the country.
