President Donald Trump said Tuesday that 20 states plan to reopen as the United States passed the peak of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak.
“We are opening up America again,” he said during the White House CCP Virus Task Force press briefing. “Twenty states, representing 40 percent of the population, have announced they are making plans and preparations to safely restart their economies in the very near future. Three announced today.”
President Trump thanked Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), the U.S. Senate minority leader, and Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the Senate Majority Leader, for passing the new small business relief bill.
The legislation in this round of stimulus funding approves $482 billion in aid, including for small businesses, and for hospitals to increase testing.
It comes days after the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)—which was passed last month as part of the third stimulus package—ran out of money, meaning no new loans could be issued until it was replenished. The new bill provides an additional $310 billion for the program.
The funding package includes $50 billion for disaster relief loans, which would enable to government to lend up to $300 billion. Funds for hospitals and COVID-19 testing make up the bulk of the rest of the funds.

The Government picks the best winners.
Why we are lucky to have Trump as President now. If 20 states reopen, only 30 will be left to go. If Obama were still President and 20 states reopened, there would be 37 left.
Which twenty?
Yes, which ones ??!!!
