Trump: 'We have to get back to work'

President Donald Trump says his administration is preparing new coronavirus guidelines that will characterize U.S. counties as high-risk, medium-risk or low-risk, and that people have to get back to work.

The remarks come as the United States surpassed China and Italy as the country with the most coronavirus cases, according to a Reuters tally.

At least 1,178 people in the United States have died from COVID-19, which has proven especially dangerous to the elderly and people with underlying chronic health conditions, according to a running tally based on reports from state and local public health authorities.

If we go back prematurely, our hospitals will be totally overwhelmed, and our medical professionals will be sick and dying in mass.

When the manager asks if you're still coming in, but the building is on fire.

[newnewfolk]

I am starting to think these old ass politicians just trying to take us all with them

[bryan]

“All lot of progress has been made.” Yeah now the USA is the leading country in the world for most coronavirus cases...

[ronaldhernandez]

Clearly this man has never seen a subway ride on the way to work

[snookzification]

Translation "My rich friends telling me, they are loosing a lot of money. We can´t have that. I don´t care about your health."


Stay safe everyone!

[jacknugent]

Two things we cant currently cure: coronavirus and stupidity. A deadly combination.

[gabrielromig]

"We have to get back to work" means "My hotels and golf courses are losing money"

[k.i.s.s..]

This guy thinks we're mad at our Governers for making us be safe... and that we're eager to put ourselves in harms way by going back to work. That's what I gathered from this

[christophermoshier]

Yes. You have to go back because my corporate buddies are losing money.

[nicolasperret]

Please stay home everyone. It is still very contageous. Keep in distance. Keep in touch with your elders. It is gonna take more than 1 or 2 month to be back to normal...

[morpheus]

I'm not dying or having a permanent injury from the virus for minimum wage, Orange man. I'm staying my ass home.

[BomageMinimart]

"Have to go back"? Who's gonna make people go back to work when it could kill them?

[mr.dinglebop]

"we have to get back to work" i never stopped working, and you still havent done anything so why bruh.

[Lionize]

If Trump wants everyone back to work then the government needs to guarantee our full wage if we contract the virus for the entire time we miss work because of it, prevent employers from separating us while we are sick and agree to pay for all of the treatment and rehab associated with it. And we need adequate testing for EVERYONE.

This guy is the equivalent of a kid sweeping dirt under the rug so he can say he finished his chores and go back to playing video games. This president is willing to sacrifice human lives for points on a stock market. America first my ass

[c.m.]

When the elite feel pain in the wallet this happens

[keonamichelle]

Who wants to go back at the risk of their lives. If more people die who will be going back to work. What world is he living in.

[Rangersleadtheway]

Thousands of people may die
Trump: thats a sacrifice im willing to make

[rickmoss]

Oh, the delicious irony, coming from an individual who hasn't worked a day of his life. In fact, if he was given an immunological test, I am certain that he would test positive for having an allergy to work.
