President Trump on Friday described the decision on when and how to reopen the country as the most difficult one he’s had to make in his life, underscoring the careful line he is walking between concerns about the economy and public health during the coronavirus outbreak.
“I don’t know that I’ve had a bigger decision. But I’m going to surround myself with the greatest minds. Not only the greatest minds, but the greatest minds in numerous different businesses, including the business of politics and reason...”
“And we’re going to make a decision, and hopefully it’s going to be the right decision,” he continued. “I will say this. I want to get it open as soon as we can.”
...But public health experts have warned about the risk of reopening the country too early, which could set up a nightmare scenario where COVID-19 again surges in communities and overwhelms hospitals.
Even if Trump decides to relax the guidelines, the decision to reduce restrictions like stay-at-home orders and business closures would ultimately fall to states that implemented them.
To map out a potential reopening, Trump said he will unveil members of a new group Tuesday that he dubbed the “Opening Our Country Council.” The cohort is expected to include administration officials, business leaders and political figures from around the country.
Trump has repeatedly insisted that he will listen to recommendations from top health officials like Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx when making a decision on when and how to relax the guidelines.
“I listen to them about everything. I think they are actually surprised. I have great respect for these people, all of them, and others that are working for us,” Trump told reporters Friday...
“I will certainly listen,” Trump continued later. “I understand the other side of the argument very well."

Let the governors cope with that
Trump needs to work on the recovery.
The models are defective because they do not take into account that Corona virus family affects different demographic groups in different ways. The models must assume that everyone is at the same risk from a COVID infection.
He said he would LISTEN to their recommendations. He didn’t say he would OBEY their recommendations. Hopefully he won’t let them panic him.
I teach in urban America. Hate my job, but it pays the bills. Wife works at home during faux virus. Never ever thought I’d say this...but I want to go back to school, now.
Don’t go wobbly on me now Donald. Trust your instincts not some deep state “experts”. The left in the media are never gonna say you did the right thing. Just Do It.
The wife.
The mistress was hardly ever seen around the business. In her own words “his trucking business is his *other* toy.”
The wife came in after his death and ran the business into the ground in under a year.
She started slashing costs by firing two mechanics and cutting the pay of the other two the first day. Those two left within weeks.
The office staff completely turned over in two months.
By the third month we drivers started leaving as we found other jobs.
That woman could curse like a sailor and never took responsibility for her own actions. Everything was always someone else’s fault.
Except her son.
That prissy little fruit could do no wrong.
If you are yelling at me then my point went right over your head.
You are correct. All the more reason to pray for our President lie never before.
You are correct.
All the more reason to pray for our President like never before.
Amen.
Saw this live last Sunday...thanks for posting the link!
Things need to open soon or people will do it on their own. I am already seeing more traffic out on the streets.
Everything they have tried has backfired on them so far.
I am praying that that will continue to happen.
That’s right. In a country this size, one size does not fit all.
AMEN!!!
there are a couple of new things on the market for headaches that seem to work.
I’m also sick of hearing about how many more people are going to die if the economy remains closed.
It’s nothing more than alarmist speculation because NOBODY knows that for sure and it can’t be proved.
It’s simply an opinion and justification for that position.
It doesn’t matter what he does. The fake media will still do their best to take him down.
Bilderbergers, Skull And Bones, Trilateral Commission. Please try to get it straight.
Nope, he’s not yelling at you.
He’s just being Elsie.
