Trump: “I’d love to have the country opened up and raring to go by Easter’’

President Trump told a town hall that restarting the economy by April 12 is his goal, calling it “a significant date’’

White House of President Trump and his coronavirus team.

When will the national lockdown of the U.S. economy end? President Trump, in a virtual town hall on Fox News today, said his goal is April 12, Easter Sunday.

“I’d love to have the country opened up and raring to go by Easter,’’ Trump said, calling Easter “a very significant date.’’

Returning to normal in 19 days?

“I think it’s absolutely possible.’’ Trump said. “Now we’ll have to practice social distancing and all that...We have to get our country back to work. This cure is worse than the problem… Our people want to go back to work… Whether we’re locked in a room or practicing all the things we’re supposed to be practicing in an office at work.’’

More than 100 million Americans are currently in home lockdown

The Centers for Disease Control “15-Day Pause” runs through Tuesday, March 31. His previously announced 30-day halt on non-essential travel to Europe was scheduled to end by Easter as well.

Trump has previously hesistated to pick a date but has increasingly said he doesn’t want “the cure to be worse than the disease.’’

Easter, the most significant day on the Christian calendar, honors the date Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead, and Trump and Fox host Bill Hemmer said a resurrection of the economy would be an equally momentous day for beginning to return to normal.

370,000 U.S. tests in eight days

Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus coordinator, said the country is using “21st century solutions’’ to tackle Covid-19 the way America should have tackled the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918, getting all the data to see what’s really working, adding “every American needs to follow the president’s guidelines.’’

“In the last eight days, we’ve done more tests than South Korea did eight weeks,’’ she said, saying the United States could do as well as South Korea, the acknowledged leader for confronting the pandemic better than other nations.

James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Federal Reserve, said to expect the GDP to be cut in half (around 1.5 percent growth) and it would be inaccurate to call this a recession. He said a $2 trillion stimulus package would help the country “get back to where we were’’ or higher.

The second quarter begins April 1 with most of the “restart’’ planning focusing on the second quarter. Bullard said this is actually a “planned temporary shutdown of the U.S economy.’’

“It’s not built to shut down,’’ Trump said of the economy. “Our people are full of vim and vigor and energy. They don’t want to be locked in a house or an apartment or some space… “You can destroy a country this way by closing it down where it literally goes from being the most prosperous.”

In a follow-up, one-on-one interview with Hemmer after the town hall, Trump said “We have to be what’s right ultimately for the people… They want to get back to work… Our people are just truly amazing people…

“Look, Easter’s a very special day for me and I see it sort of in that time line that I’m thinking about it,’’ Trump said. “And I say ‘Wouldn’t it be great to have all of the churches — the churches aren’t allowed essentially to have much of a congregation there … But online is never going to be like being there. So I think Easter Sunday and you’ll have packed churches all across our country. I think it would be a beautiful time.’’
