President Donald Trump wants to reopen the U.S. economy by mid-April.
According to Reuters, despite a surge in cases, the president downplayed the coronavirus pandemic.
He said he wants businesses to open their doors again by Easter, which would be April 12.
Trump said: “We lose thousands and thousands of people a year to the flu.
We don’t turn the country off.” He said shutting down the country like they have for the coronavirus can “destroy” it.
