Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said Thursday the economy could be reopened in May.

Donald Trump and his administration are pushing to end social distancing measures and reopen the U.S. economy by May. But since Trump refused to issue a national stay-at-home order, it is unclear what it he would lift.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin was asked in an interview on CNBC on Thursday if he believed the country might really reopen in May.

"I do," he said.

Mnuchin continued, "I think as soon as the president feels comfortable with the medical issues, we are making everything necessary that American companies and American workers can be open for business and that they have the liquidity that they need to operate their business in the interim."

3. They should do it. THEY should all go back to work and social interaction

with each other. They should all go around licking doorknobs just to show the dumb liberals there's nothing to this coronavirus hoax.

They should all just go ahead.
