Kushner predicts much of the country will be 'back to normal' in June

Source: The Hill

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 what you’ll see in May as the states are reopening now is May will be a transition month, you’ll see a lot of states starting to phase in the different reopening based on the safety guidelines that President Trump outlined on April 19," Kushner said on "Fox & Friends."

"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.

and everything and getting away with it. People won't accept lies as the truth when they know friends and family who have been affected by the virus. The vast majority of people just aren't buying it this time.

There's no point in turning the uninfected loose without systemically detecting and isolating the infected -- and particularly the unknowingly infected -- first.

Fortunately, it can be done inexpensively and easily:

An expertly expert guy chiming in on a catastrophic crisis. He must be doing very well with raiding the coffers right now. Maybe he gets a little of the White House Adderall Strategic Stash. I'll be things are JUST GOING GREAT FOR HIM! Yay.

Meanwhile, I will take that expert knowing prognostication from a common criminal as a sign that we are in for a very bad Summer in every way, especially with coffer robbers being able to declare things like that and it is called, "news".

I would rather listen to ducks mating, myself. Kushner is just another cockwomble in a gaggle of them.

this Botoxed prick will be brought up on charges of profiteering, once the investigation of HOW he is confiscating the PPE supplies is exposed. He is having his goons seize PPE supplies that governors from various parts of the country bought and paid for. They are storing them in special facilities, because they are "our supplies" he claims. His daddy BOUGHT him a place at Harvard, because he could not pass the exam to enroll himself. Not-so-swift Jared is certainly in the right family. None of them are too intelligent, just pretend to be, and THINK they are.

as long as the republican party has any influence over governmental affairs. Democrats/liberals have to get control of the Senate/House/Presidency and do something to improve education in the USA. Until education improves, there will be millions of gullible idiots flocking to fascist leaders like Trump.

Also need to get rid of Citizens United. Maybe it's already done mortal damage. We'll see.

and he's probably sick of hearing Ivanka crabbing about her roots, her worn off Botox, and her scraggy fingernails since he's most likely too cheap to have people come in to do that shit the way old money does.

I'm basing this on the fact that I haven't seen her in front of the cameras for about a month. We know she's not bothering to social distance, she traveled to NJ for a cozy family Passover.

I think they're going to find about 30-40% of the workforce is going to be out, mos of them on quarantine, a few in the hospital, and a few who will never work again. They're also going to find out you can't just plug any random peasant into an open job. There is a skill level in butchering down animals to be wrapped in film for the supermarket. There is another for everything from baking bread to applying and decorating false fingernails. Training costs across all job categories are going to skyrocket.

The next months are going to be very hard ones for all of us, but I will greatly enjoy watching that rotten class and especially that rotten family dimly realize that they need us one hell of a lot more than we need them.

First it was "we'll soon be to zero cases" in February, then we'll be opening up by Easter, then by May 1st. Now he says June 1st.

Nah, by then, we'll be over 2 million cases, and 100,000 deaths. And while Democratic controlled states will keep their curves flattened, Republican states that insist on opening early will become the hot spots with surging numbers.

They have already calculated how many deaths from early re-opening they can get away with or cover up. This is about ONE thing, re-election. It's got nothing to do with the virus and deaths. They don't give a fuck about people dying.
