CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/ECONOMY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The best strategy for public health is to aggressively protect the most vulnerable while allowing younger and healthier Americans to work safely… To maintain the health and safety of our society, we must also maintain the health of our economy. There’s a reason why our nation’s life expectancy is closely correlated with economic development. A never-ending shutdown would increase, not reduce, the total loss of life in the United States, while failing to focus resources on the most vulnerable.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump in Roundtable Discussion with Industry Executives on Reopening,” whitehouse.gov, May 30, 2020
