More reporting:
Trump and some of his top officials are growing more anxious with social distancing guidelines put in place to combat the coronavirus, sources close to the White House effort said. One senior official said the President is losing patience with the period of national self-isolation that has frozen the US economy.
Already, some conservatives have suggested the US went too far in limiting people's movements to protect health at the expense of businesses, including Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Steve Hilton.
"You know that famous phrase, 'the cure is worse than the disease'?" Hilton asked during his monologue on Sunday night. "That is exactly the territory we are hurtling towards."
An open question is whether Trump is willing to cast aside Fauci's recommendations once the economic picture becomes clearer. Meanwhile, Fauci has been vocal in his disagreements with Trump -- including in interviews openly discussing his role in correcting the President's false or misleading statements.
On Monday, Trump began sending retweets that seem to be encouraging an end to strong social distancing measures after the current 15-day period, despite concern from public health officials that it won't be long enough to blunt the worst of the coronavirus.
"15 days," one user tweeted. "Then we isolate the high risk groups and the rest of us get back to work before it's all over for everyone!! #Landslide2020"
"Flatten the curve NOT the Economy," reads a follow up tweet.
"After 15 days are over the world can begin to heal!," another user tweeted.
On Monday he retweeted one user, responding to his original tweet, who wrote, "Correct. Fifteen days, then we keep the high risk groups protected as necessary and the rest of us go back to work."

Trump never been afraid to take huge losses. This is the guy who bankrupts casinos. This time he's willing to cut and run on human lives.

It's crazy to me that Republican lawmakers are still standing behind Trump. There really is no limit to their cowardice.

I'll say this, as much as I hear people where I live wanting to " Bomb China" or take some sort of "Military response". If most countries including the US do not remove most of their factories from China when this is said and done, then they have learned nothing from this.

The Secretary of Defenses News Conference is filling me with confidence. His numbers are from last week, he doesn't remember what things are called or where they are going.

Jesus, the entire state of NC has 250.
Our Governor just closed schools until May 15th and closed movie theaters, gyms, churches, salons, etc, but didn't give a shelter-in-place order.
