The coronavirus is spiking in more than a dozen states and intensive care beds are filling again, but several governors have no plans to reimpose shutdown measures or pause reopenings
, a sign that the political will to take drastic measures has dissipated even as the virus is still raging.
The governors’ attitudes mark a shift in the national view of the best way to respond to the virus that is still infecting more than 20,000 people in the U.S every day. State officials hesitant to pause gradually reawakening economies contend they are better equipped to identify and stamp out outbreaks than when Covid-19 emerged just a few months ago.
Without the political desire or public pressure to reimpose shutdown measures, public health experts worry these recent spikes could signal a steady burn of coronavirus infections through the summer, even as previously hard-hit areas like New York and New Jersey have gotten their outbreaks under control.
Hutchinson of Arkansas told reporters Wednesday that he doesn’t believe the White House guidelines are “sacrosanct”, and he contends more expansive testing — and not lifted restrictions on churches and businesses — is responsible for higher case counts. But many public health experts say more testing can’t fully explain rising infection numbers, since hospitalizations are also increasing and a higher percentage of people are testing positive in many of those places.
“People started taking fewer precautions and not being as careful — whether they were going to a restaurant or just hanging out with friends,” he said. “There was such a lack of clear messaging around the reopening and a lot of people took it to mean that everything was back to normal, when that was absolutely not the case.”
