He further shared his 9/11 experience and said, “I went through 9/11. This should literally eclipse that in terms of the number of deaths in this state — it’s unimaginable.”
The death rate of coronavirus killing is double the lives lost in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
When asked if he would plan to reduce the essential services like grocery, medicines and public transport. He argued, “It’s impossible to tell people to eat less or use fewer prescriptions.”
White House Debates Over Reopening the Economy
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s aides in the White House are considering to reopen the American economy next month.
CNN reports that the conversation is preliminary and would evolve over the course of a few weeks. President Trump envisions to reopen the American economy by May 1 with a ‘big bang.’
Talking about various concepts of reopening the economy Trump told FOX News, “We’re looking at two concepts. We’re looking at the concept where you open up sections and we’re also looking at the concept where you open up everything.”

However, he agrees that New Jersey, New York and Louisiana might find it difficult to reopen given the outbreak cases. The Economy is Trump’s central argument for the re-election campaign.
Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the US economy has gone worse than the 1929 crash. More than 10 million people by far have filed for unemployment benefits.
Moreover, multiple officials feel that discussion of re-opening the economy might lead to a clash between health and economic advisors. The advisors on both the part have disagreed over the past month on the length of social distancing recommendations.
