Almost every state is in the process of reopening but those sticking with stay-at-home orders are getting major pushback.
Last month Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers extended stay-at-home orders until May 26.

Fauci advised schools to exercise caution when reopening and said some should not open at all.
Wednesday Trump said schools should reopen and said Fauci’s answer was “unacceptable.”
