Quote of the day:
Reopen is the wrong word. And that is part of the problem. We look at"reopening" as going back to the way things were before the pandemic. That's not going to happen.
Instead we have to look at initially taking what is working and extending it. We know that pick up and delivery works for online [shopping]. It works for food. It works for other products. We should extend what has worked for those businesses to all businesses. That should be the first step. In parallel, we should look to see what the country needs to battle the virus and make us safer. We need testing. We need tracking and tracing.
The best way to truly reinvigorate the economy is to create consumer demand, and the best way to do that is by putting millions of people back to work via a federal jobs program that initially focuses on hiring people and trains them to be health care workers capable of effectively delivering an anonymous tracking, tracing and testing program and the data collection and analysis program that is required behind it.
