CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The battle continues, but the data suggests that nationwide we have passed the peak on new [coronavirus] cases. Hopefully that will continue and we will continue to make great progress. These encouraging developments have put us in a very strong position to finalize guidelines for states on reopening the country, which we’ll be announcing…
We want to get our country open again. We want to have our sports leagues open. You want to watch sports. It’s important. We miss sports. We miss everything. We want to get back.”
