The course of what Donald Trump himself defined as “very painful weeks” is decidedly coming true. On the last day, the United States recorded 2,569 new deaths from Covid-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus and which has it as the most deceased country on the planet. Specifically, the world’s first economy reached a total of 644,806 confirmed cases, while 28,572 people lost their lives and another 48,1710 recovered according to John Hopkins University. Just seven days ago, the country had 461,124 infected and 16,712 deaths, which gives an account of the acceleration that this virus is having throughout the national territory, with New York State as an epicenter.

Amid an increasingly strained pressing with opposition governors for the management of the pandemic, the representative threatened to lift the legislative branch sessions, a power never before used by a head of state.Trump accused the Democratic bench of delaying the confirmation of dozens of designations “for key state positions,” by holding minimal sessions and not declaring a full recess , which would allow it to move forward with designations and other initiatives – such as budget items – through decrees.” Maybe this power hasn’t been used before, no one can know for sure. But we will. It’s something I’d rather not do, but I will. We need those people here. We need people for this crisis and we don’t want to play any more political games,” he said at his daily conference in the White House garden.
Similarly, the administrationheading is working on a plan to reopen the economy through which, the Washington Post reportedly, the Washington Post is expected: preparing the country to reopen may 1, conducting massive testing until 15 of the same month, and starting somewhere between those dates the “staged reopening.” Ultimately, it points out that this week 5.2 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits, taking the total number of applications this month above 20 million. The truth is that according to Department of Labor reports, information indicates that from measures taken to contain the circulation of the virus, the United States lost 22 million jobs since mid-March.
