My gawd.

I think Trump is between a rock and and a hard place. Which is great.
He wants to open everything, prove its not so bad. That or feed the herd in an attempt to get everyone infected and those that will die will die off quicker, and everyone that survives and is immune can start it up sooner than the "flattening the curve" method.

All to have the economy cracking by November. Or at least on the way up.

But if he and his sycophant governors push to open too soon, all it means is that they will end up being forced to re-shut down, with even stricter restrictions. That or even the cult members will be afraid to shop or go to work with the body count rising. And the Red States economies will fail anyways. And people vote with the economy in mind first. Meanwhile, the Blue States will probably be doing okay by then.
