I see no need for all 50 governors to have to agree at the same time for reopening. Montana has more horses than people with very very little infections so they should open if they wish. New York is getting better but is certainly not ready for opening. Each individual governor knows their state so we have to hope they know what they’re doing.

How do you prevent people in the MORE restricted states, from turning out in droves to the LESS restricted states? That didn't go so well for the kids who ended up with the virus because Florida chose not to close their beaches until after the infection had spread to vacationers.
This is -why- it has to be a nationwide effort. You can't say "You can't walk on the streets but you may leave the state if you want" to one state, and "you can walk on the streets and play bingo and go to church and hang out on the beach" in another state, and not expect the virus to just keep spreading.
Just like gun laws - if one state says "nope can't buy that type of weapon in this state" and anyone can cross the border and buy that type of weapon in the next state, there is NOTHING stopping everyone in the first state from owning that type of weapon.
Now consider the weapon is the coronavirus, and consider that anyone who possesses it, is incapable of controlling their trigger finger.
