President Trump says he wants the country 'opened up and just raring to go by Easter, even after health experts' warnings
President Donald Trump of the United States announced that he wants the nation "opened up back and just raring to go by Easter." Well, Easter is dated to be more than two weeks away, and the health experts believe it to be sufficient time to contain the virus.
President Trump reiterated he was eager to see the nation return to normal, speaking during a Fox News town hall on Tuesday. This announcement is even after the doctors and health experts warn that the government will face a massive spike in confirmed cases if the Americans return to crowded workplaces or crowded events.
Trump, earlier in the town hall, said that he would give it "two weeks." Then later suggested that he was ready to phase out his 15-day self isolating guidelines when they were being expired. He also added this, " "I guess by Monday or Tuesday, it's about two weeks. We will assess at that time and give it more time if we need a little more time. We have to open this country up."
But earlier that Monday, Trump said that his medical experts form the task force do not necessarily agree with his expectations for a quick return to jobs and boost the economy. But the Republicans sound alarms to this suggestion.
Although President Trump has mentioned about reopening the country for Easter, the president has not reached a final decision yet. According to Trump's advisers, this date would be more like an "Aspirational date."
"Nice timing"
During the daily press briefing, President Trump told reporters that it was his idea to suggest Easter as a potential date to restart the country. And then again, Trump also said that he will do it if things are better and after the recommendations from top medical experts on the White House Special Taskforce. After many discussions with the respected parties, President Trump said that the date should be flexible. Doctor Fauci, an expert of the medical team, task force, said that some parts of the US would turn out fine by Easter.
Health Officials are drafting plans
According to local reporters, health experts are developing plans to send back people to work. The officials are describing rolling responses, with more recommendations easing for separate states at different times.
The recorded sources cautioned that this approach to work and sending children to school is with risk. With the discussion of one idea among the task force, self-testing for the Corona Virus has undergone dramatic expansion.
