Donald Trump has said he wants to open America for business again and send people back to work by April 12th (Easter). He thinks the economy going into recession is more important than fighting the Coronavirus epidemic. He is a moron. Doing that would endanger many American lives, and set back the fight against the epidemic by many months.The truth is that we have not yet reached the peak of this virus spread, and have not flattened the curve to allow our medical establishment to handle those who need hospitalization. If you doubt that, just look at the numbers below
