States Map Out Reopening, Say Crisis Is Not Over

WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. governors are starting to map out plans for reopening their economies as world leaders battling the coronavirus pin hopes on tests, technology and a coordinated approach to ease restrictions on movement that have slowed the outbreak but strangled the global marketplace. States from coast to coast are coordinating in regional coalitions, as President Donald Trump appears to back off his claim of absolute authority on when and how to loosen restrictions across the country. The International Monetary Fund predicts the world economy will suffer its worst year since the Great Depression in the 1930s and shrink by an estimated 3% this year.
