John,

In case you missed it, Senator Barrasso wrote an op-ed for Real Clear Politics on reopening our economy.

Read some of what he is saying below:

    America is starting to recover from its coronavirus-induced coma. The     economy added nearly 5 million jobs in June – our largest-ever monthly jobs     gain.

    Businesses small and large are waking up. Thousands of Americans who lost     their jobs are being hired back. And yet with the recent spike in cases, the     country needs a responsible plan to bring us back to the pre-pandemic     economy: strong, healthy and growing.

    Some see the spike and immediately call for another shutdown. They want to     abandon our economic recovery, which would give whiplash to hardworking     men and women across the country. That’s the wrong plan. The right answer     is to continue our responsible reopening.

    As a doctor, I trust the science and the data. The science tells me we can’t     reopen recklessly, or all at once. The science also makes clear that mortality     and hospitalization rates are falling in many areas. Young people, while not     invincible, are increasingly experiencing mild or asymptomatic cases. We also     know the health cost from staying locked down is huge. Forty million     Americans lost their jobs during the shutdown. Data show that long-term     unemployment leads to a rise in abuse: spousal abuse, substance abuse and     child abuse. These problems are equally as serious as the coronavirus.
