Kushner: "... by July the country's really rocking again"

[left-of-center2012]

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner on Wednesday expressed optimism that much of the country could be "back to normal" by June as several states prepare to lift restrictions meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus. "I think you’ll see by June that a lot of the country should be back to normal, and the hope is that by July the country’s really rocking again," the president's son-in-law continued.

The ambitious timeline could be politically risky given that cases in the U.S. are still climbing and health experts have cautioned that parts of the country will have to alternate between imposing strict social distancing measures and easing them back until there's a vaccine in order to avoid new outbreaks.

White House officials have pushed for states to consider lifting restrictions in an attempt to jumpstart the economy, which cratered due to the pandemic.

Kushner, who has led what has been referred to as a "shadow task force" on the coronavirus, asserted testing capacity is already where it needed to be for states to start lifting restrictions.
"... the leading indicators are testing, are extraordinarily positive, and I’m very confident that we have all testing we need to start opening the country ..."
