And the highest number of deaths yesterday. I don't know why Trump thinks we've turned some corner--

Well, he doesn't think that. He doesn't care.

He had this big conference call supposedly to get business leaders onboard with this, and a reporter said many of the business people said they don't want to open early, that they won't open if it means risking their employees and customers-- and also pointed out there's no use of opening if there is going to be no business because everyone is staying home. After all, if most of us are postponing appointments to dentists and doctors out of caution, we're certainly not going to go out to get a haircut or an oilchange.

But Trump can't think of anything but goosing the stock market.
