On Sunday night President Donald Trump posted this tweet:
President Trump: WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!

This is the first signal that President Trump is not willing to force the US into a depression over the COVID-19 outbreak.
The US coronavirus mortality rate dipped to 1.25% on Sunday using deaths (396) divided by confirmed cases (38,167).
That number is actually SIGNIFICANTLY lower if you factor in ALL OF THE CASES that are not being reported, where people are not feeling sick enough to be tested.
That number could be 6-7 times higher than the current number of 35,070.
This means the current mortality rate could be as low as 0.2% or about like a harsh flu.
President Trump went on tweeting several patriots who back him up on this.
Trump hinted he will not allow the US into a COVID-19 depression.
Robert, we will end up stronger than ever before. Thank you! https://t.co/4UfMaCmkg5

The fear of the virus cannot collapse our economy that President Trump has built up.
We The People are smart enough to keep away from others if we know that we are sick or they are sick!
After 15 days are over the world can begin to heal!
