Pres. Trump says he will 'surround myself with the greatest minds' to make decision on when to reopen country. Asked what metrics he will use to make the call, he points at his head: 'The metrics right here. That's my metrics. That's all I can do.'
Trump says US headed to death toll 'substantially below' 100,000
“At this holy time, we pray that God will heal the sick and comfort the heartbroken, and bless our heroes. As American families look forward to Easter, we are reminded that our story ends not in despair but in triumph and renewal. Very appropriate, isn't it?,” Trump said. “I think we will be substantially under that number. Hard to believe that if you had 60,000 -- You can never be happy, but that's a lot fewer than we were originally told and thinking,” Trump said. “It looks like we're headed to a number substantially below the 100,000. That would be the low mark and I hope that bears out.”
Black communities have been infected and their residents killed at a disproportionate rate across the country, according to several states' analysis of data. But Birx cautioned that while some areas are seeing a leveling, the U.S. has not reached its peak, so everyone should keep up mitigation measures.
“This is the end of the week that famous week that we spoke about last weekend, in which we what actually was predicted to happen happened. We're starting to see the leveling off,” Fauci said.

You see it this week,” Trump added, pointing to gains in the stock market this week amid a volatile few month
“You don't have to test every person in the state of Iowa, as an example. You don't have to test every person to say 'Let's open up and get the tractors moving and let's get the corn,’” the president added. “That being said, if there is a little hot corner someplace, we will be testing.”The president also confirmed that the White House is setting up a new council focused on reopening the country, as ABC News reported earlier this week.
"You are right about opening up, and it could lead to death, but staying at home leads to death, also," the president said. "I think as soon as the president feels comfortable with the medical issues, we are making everything necessary that American companies and American workers can be open for business and that they have the liquidity they need to operate their business in the interim," Mnuchin said.
