At today’s Fauci-free Fox News “Town Hall” event, Donald Trump sought to give himself a little wiggle room after yesterday’s disastrous “[Throw One Million Grandmas Off a Cliff](https://twitter.com/RealDonalDrumpf/status/1242283882449379329?ref=unprecedented.ghost.io)” trial balloon. Instead of trying to put America back to work next week, he’s now setting Easter Sunday—April 12—as the day he wants America back to normal. As he told [Fox News’ Bill Hemmer](https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1242538006575112193?ref=unprecedented.ghost.io): > I think Easter Sunday and you’ll have packed churches all over our country. I think it would be a beautiful time. And it’s just about the timeline that I think is right…. I would love to aim it right at Easter Sunday so we’re open for church service and services generally on Easter Sunday. That would be a beautiful thing. Of course, most experts say Trump’s plan is utterly moronic. Tom Bossert, former Homeland Security Adviser told MSNBC: > What he needs to do is avoid second waves and re-infections... To lose the benefit of (all we’ve done) by not sticking to our guns would be a really devastating decision. Meanwhile, other God-fearing Americans aren’t waiting for Easter. For example: - Texax Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is endorsing Trump’s idea to [sacrifice grandparents](https://www.wonkette.com/trump-will-put-americans-back-to-work-over-their-nanas-dead-bodies?ref=unprecedented.ghost.io) in order to get America back to work lickety-split. - Jerry Falwell, Jr. is welcoming students [back to campus](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/coronavirus-liberty-university-s-jerry-falwell-jr-welcomes-students-back-n1167581?ref=unprecedented.ghost.io) at the private Evangelical Liberyy University in Lynchburg, Va. following spring break. - Idaho Governor Brad Little is resisting calls to impose statewide restrictions despite warnings he may soon have [14 desperately ill patients for every ICU bed](https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241154021.html?ref=unprecedented.ghost.io) in the state. America’s growing need for funeral services may put a damper on Trump’s plan to pack our churches in time for a massive Easter celebration: - In New York, coronavirus cases are growing even faster than expected: There are now [more than 25,000 cases in NY state alone](https://www.newsday.com/news/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-long-island-1.43417126?ref=unprecedented.ghost.io). - In New Jersey, there was a jump of [831 cases and 17 deaths](https://www.newjerseynewsnetwork.com/story/41933752/covid19-murphy-announces-nj-applies-for-standardized-testing-waiver-3675-positive-cases-and-44-deaths?ref=unprecedented.ghost.io) overnight. - The World Health Organization is now warning that the US could soon be the [global epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-who-usa/united-states-could-become-coronavirus-epicenter-who-idUSKBN21B1FT?ref=unprecedented.ghost.io). For three months, [Trump pretended](https://unprecedented.ghost.io/trumps-unforgivable-crime/) the coronavirus pandemic wasn’t happening. He kept assuring us [everything was under control](https://unprecedented.ghost.io/american-idiot/). Now he wants it all to just go away. Droplets-wise, Trump got a little too close to Bill Hemmer today. And with today’s Easter fantasy, he proves he’s continuing to maintain an unhealthy distance from reality. --- *Through this newsletter, I’ve explored the threats Trump poses to public health in articles about the incompetence with which he has handled the growing [COVID-19](https://unprecedented.ghost.io/its-the-incompetence-stupid/) crisis, the [thousands of unnecessary deaths](https://unprecedented.ghost.io/on-flu-deaths/) that occurred during his first flu season, Trump’s refusal to allow [kids in border camps](https://unprecedented.ghost.io/a-deadly-virus-spreads/) to receive the flu vaccine, and the food safety issues caused by Trump recklessly [deregulating pork](https://unprecedented.ghost.io/filthy-pigs/) slaughterhouses.
