The Trump Business task force has two tasks. How to respond to the economic damage from coronavirus and how to reopen the economy. The president is fine with reopening parts of the economy at a time, with the federal government working together with state governors - the least risk ones going first, the most risk ones coming last done on the advice of health experts. Testing and virus tracking are key issues in reopening the economy with systems that are both efficient and reliable needed for public to have confidence.

What It’s Like to Teach Sixth-Grade Science Over Zoom
WSJ 04/13/20
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
