THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. So, nice to be with you. America continues to gain ground in the war against the virus.
I want to thank the American people for answering the call, following our guidelines, and making the sacrifices required to overcome this terrible threat. More aggressively we commit to social distancing so important. Social distancing such an important phrase. And we do it right now. The more lives we can save and the sooner we can eventually get people back to work, back to school, and back to normal.
And there are large sections of our country probably can go back much sooner than other sections. And were obviously looking at that also. People are asking, Is that an alternative? And I say, Absolutely, it is an alternative.

So now we will hear from our great Secretary of the Treasury. He has been working rather hard, I will tell you. Steve Mnuchin is a hes a fantastic guy and he loves our country, and hes been dealing with both sides Republican and Democrat. He, sort of, lived over in that beautiful building. Its a very beautiful building. To me, one of the most beautiful buildings, actually, in the world. And hes gotten to know it, Steve, very well.
So if we could have a little update, Steve, it would be fantastic, as to how were doing and what its looking like.
Thank you.
SECRETARY MNUCHIN: Thank you very much, Mr. President. And first, let me say, I would like to thank Mitch McConnell for his leadership. And Id also like to thank Chuck Schumer for the enormous bipartisan support we had on this bill, and the many senators, both Republicans and Democrats, that work tirelessly over the last five days on all the task force.
