Confidence Needed Before Life Returns to Normal

Washington Post: “Last week, President Trump released a set of guidelines for beginning to reopen the country amid the coronavirus pandemic. But what Trump says won’t much matter if skittish elected leaders, business owners and customers don’t trust that they will be safe returning to their daily lives — and at the moment, most Americans don’t have that confidence.”

Jacqueline Alemany: “There’s a serious break between Trump’s vision of the post-peak future — as painted in his daily White House press briefings — and the grim reality described by small business owners, restaurateurs, and essential workers on the front lines. Especially as hospitals in some of the cities hit the hardest are still overwhelmed.”
