Donald Trump : Our country wasn't built to be shut down, we are not looking at months

President Trump on Monday signaled he wants the economy to be back in full swing as quickly as possible amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis. He said during a Coronavirus Task Force briefing that his administration will reevaluate the 15-day guideline the White House issued last week when that time is up and he will soon issue new guidelines on how to return to a more normalized workforce and economy.

"Our country wasn't built to be shut down. This is not a country that was built for this. It was not built to be shut down," Mr. Trump said in a briefing that heavily emphasized the need to reopen and boost businesses and the economy. "... We're not gonna let the cure be worse than the problem. We are not looking at months, I can tell you right now,” Donald Trump said.

According to him, the US “will soon be open for business.”
