President Donald Trump is now considering lifting the extreme restrictions that have been put into place in an attempt to curb the Coronavirus. He suggested he may do this if the economy is being hurt too greatly.
The president tweeted, “WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF,” Trump said in a late night tweet. “AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!”
Many local leaders implemented restrictions to close bars, restaurants, schools, gyms, bowling centers, theaters, and anywhere else that people gather. They claimed it could last for weeks or maybe even months.
The Hill reports:
But Trump on Monday morning retweeted several accounts that urged the loosening of those restrictions in the name of getting Americans back to work, a sign he may be growing impatient with the dismal economic numbers that could threaten his reelection hopes in the fall.
"Correct. 15 days, then we keep the high risk groups protected as necessary and the rest of us go back to work," one user retweeted by Trump said.
Trump also retweeted Dawn Michael, a sex therapist whose tweets he has regularly amplified, who posited that "fear of the virus cannot collapse our economy."
"We The People are smart enough to keep away from others if we know that we are sick or they are sick!" she tweeted. "After 15 days are over the world can begin to heal!"
The president last week brought former Council of Economic Advisers chief Kevin Hassett back on in an advisory role. Hassett has said the U.S. may have to consider sending people back to work at some point to avoid a Great Depression–like event.
Let’s hope this passes quickly and our economy will be able to bounce back better than ever.
WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!
