No we don’t want to be locked in our houses or apartments, BUT we don’t want what happened in China to happen here either! As a nurse I wish they would get serious, before this gets out of hand (furthermore)!

[DarioFB]

[Tetra]

"The problem being the problem."

Ah yes, the floor is made of floor

[Airdrifting]

"15 cases, soon to be zero!" "It will miraculously go away!" "Everyone who wants a test will get tested!" "We have everything under control!"

I'm truly disappointed in the American government. With that being said I'm even more disappointed in the American people.

I have read countless comments of folks saying "so what if old people die" "Money is more important than a couple deaths" "We need our economy".
You the people have the power. The economy is YOU. Without you there is no economy! Without YOU there is no government!
It's YOUR actions that dictate the course of action by the government. Stand up for what's right and leave the government no choice in the matter.

It saddens me everyday I see people fighting each other over political parties, not realizing that one is disgraceful and the other just slightly less disgraceful.
It takes unity for change, not division.

[Pete]

Just once can it not be about the money. People’s lives are at stake here. Republicans/Democrats enough already. Everyone’s life matters.

[TammyLC]

He's more concerned with money than the lives of Americans. He seen what happened in China & Italy. This will get A LOT worse.

"Our country...is not built to shut down, " "Our people are full of vigor and energy, " "They don't want to be locked into a house or an apartment...we're not built that way." As opposed to which country or countries? Which country is built to shut down? Which country's people are lazy and low energy? Nobody in the world wants to be locked in, but it's a necessity to prevent the disease from spreading, and obviously that applies to the U.S. as well. I'm saying this as an American: there really isn't anything special about us.

[asian]

Do you want all Americans contracted with COVID-19? I don't think he understands how dangerous is this.

[pabloramos]

This President is a joke . WE NEED TO LOCKDOWN

[domrocc]

This is dangerous and a desperate move from someone who is personally invested into the stock market and international economy. This does not take into account the reality of the severe situation we are in

[ricardotolentino]

He should have rallies with all his supporters and shake all their hands

[lostinmuzak]

The clueless for the clueless. Perfect way to end this country!!

[kevinperez]

If he opens everything for business then There not gonna be stuck at home no more, but be stuck in the ground when they dead ...

[soundzzzz]

He wants us to go back to work because he knows the Economy is about to have its 2nd Depression!

[bv]

This guy is a nut case he don't care about nothing and nobody but

[Picasso_mammi]

U can’t socially distance yourself at work... most people’s work literally deals with social interactions

[BobbyCoggins]

I understand his frustration.
I hope someone talks some sense into him.
Lives are more important than jobs.
We can bounce back from this without sacrificing lives on the altar of profits.
