According to the modeling used as criteria by the White House Covid-19 Task Force, the death toll in the US will reach 100,000 and this week, cases have exceeded 1.5 million.
The Democrats, powered and backed by the anti-Trump media, is claiming that the president is walking into a trap and making colossal errors by speaking in such positive terms. That said, Washington DC’s Mayor has announced that a stay-at-home order will remain in effect until 13 June, while New York’s Governor has announced that the same order will also remain in effect until 13 June.
Demonstrations are still being held in a few states, California being one of them. Here, groups that are eager to inject life back into employment, are strongly critical of their state’s governor. States that have begun to take tentative steps back to normality have given anti-Trump activists an arsenal in their criticism of him, given that there were notable increases in cases as soon as their lockdowns were lifted.
As it stands, the unemployment rate in the US has gone up by almost 20 percent and more than 36 million applications for unemployment benefits have been submitted in the last two months. To add to this, announcements of bankruptcy from some big name companies have further caused anxiety around the country.
