Part of the ongoing debate within the administration about how to handle the lockdown, often being played out in public.

According to the Wasington Post:

Attorney General William P. Barr said Wednesday that some of the government-imposed lockdown measures meant to control the spread of covid-19 were draconian and suggested that they should be eased next month.

In an interview with Fox Newss Laura Ingraham, Barr, long a proponent of executive power, said the government and in particular state officials had broad authority to impose restrictions on people in cases of emergency.

But, he said, the federal government would be keeping a careful eye on the situation, and stressed that officials should be very careful to make sure that the draconian measures that are being adopted are fully justified.

When this period of time, at the end of April, expires, I think we have to allow people to adapt more than we have, and not just tell people to go home and hide under their bed, but allow them to use other ways social distancing and other means to protect themselves, Barr said.
