"We are past the high point, and all indications at this point is that we are on the descent," state governor Andrew Cuomo told a press conference."Whether or not the descent continues depends on what we do, but right now we're on the descent."New York's improving data came as the ongoing political battle between Trump and other state governors worsened again, with virus testing rates emerging as the focus.
"Phase one" ends stay-at-home restrictions for healthy people, and allows restaurants, cinemas, sporting venues, places of worships, and gyms to re-open with physical distancing. With tens of thousands dead the battle lines are being drawn ahead of the November election, and Trump – who declared himself"a wartime president" during the pandemic – is seeking to reduce damage to his chances of holding onto office.
Jay Inslee, the governor of Washington state, also a Democrat, went further still:"To have an American president to encourage people to violate the law...it is dangerous."
