In the coming weeks, in fact we want to make it even better than it was before we are doing things to help in that regard America will again be open for business very soon a lot sooner than 3 or 4 months as somebody was suggesting, a lot sooner, we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem. At the end of the 15 day period we will make a decision as to which way we want to go, where we want to go the timing and essentially we are referring to the timing of the opening essentially the opening of our country because we have it pretty well shut down to get rid of this invisible enemy.

Prior to that, he said, “Once the medical community gives the okay, get back, go to work. Our country wasn’t built to be shut down.”

With a virus that doesn’t show effects in every carrier, it seems like there is no way to know when this thing is under control and we can’t live our lives in fear of the unknown, of this invisible virus. Hopefully that okay will be given sooner, rather than later and people will just have to be cautious and clean.
