Trump says will announce new members of coronavirus task force by Monday

Donald Trump said on Wednesday his coronavirus task force would shift its focus to reviving U.S. business and social life, prompting the top Democrat in Congress to warn that ignoring science and the need for more testing would put Americans at risk.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Trump said that because of its success, "the Task Force will continue on indefinitely with its focus on SAFETY & OPENING UP OUR COUNTRY AGAIN. We may add or subtract people to it, as appropriate."

He added: "The Task Force will also be very focused on Vaccines & Therapeutics."

The task force to date has included medical professionals focused on battling the pandemic, some of whom have at times offered guidance at odds with Trump's, including on when to ease stay-at-home orders and lockdowns on the economy.

Did he manage to find enough corrupt, inept pieces of human trash to create a new Stochastic Genocide Force? I guess you can't run out of bad. Perhaps this new Extra Mortality Crew will manage to accelerate the crisis to untold proportions.

Motto: More deaths for more people for more money for more mobsters and moguls.

Live and let DIE! The Grim Reaper is going to have to hire temps.

Seriously, I really wish they'd make hay with the inappropriate jobs his family has been assigned with literally no qualifications, so when they start yammering about Hunter Biden they'd have ammo. S

He'll just go look for a bunch of retired Ringling Brothers clowns.

No offense meant to the clowns -- they were just people doing honest work.

to re open the economy and lay a bet on it going his way.

He did this to manage expectations when he said if we have less than 100K deaths we will have done a great job.

When we blow through that number, they will still be doing a great job and blame others and of course the inevitable conspiracy theories will continue.
