“The people of Mississippi can’t just go home and shut down their small businesses … for six weeks, and just think that you can come back six weeks from now, flip a switch and everything’s gonna be fine,” Mississipi Governor Tate Reeves responded to recent comments made by Joe Biden’s adviser that “the US could go for another lockdown for up to six weeks.”
Reeves called Dr. Michael Osterholm idea “totally and completely beyond reasonableness.”
“I don’t believe there is any constitutional or statutory authority for any president to shut down Mississippi’s economy,” he said. “We will certainly fight that if it becomes necessary.”
