CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Amidst desperate calls for more ventilators and medical safety gear to combat Covid-19, President Trump’s call is the Coronavirus war will be wrapping up by Easter Sunday, just two weeks away.

Trump made his Easter reopening announcement Tuesday during a Fox News “Town Hall” interview.

"We’re opening up this incredible country. Because we have to do that. I would love to have it open by Easter. "

“I would love to have that. It’s such an important day for other reasons, but I would love to make it an important day for this. I would love to have the country opened up, and rarin’ to go by Easter.”

“Wouldn’t it be great to have all the churches full? You’ll have packed churches all over our country...I think it’ll be a beautiful thing.”

Covid-19 would say AMEN! to that.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York is among the many religious groups in the U.S. not planning on having public Easter Sunday church services to protect the health of their congregatio

"Our current plan is to have Masses and other Holy Week liturgies celebrated privately by the priests, with no congregation present, " the Archdiocese spokesman told CNBC.

The Vatican had also announced it would not be admitting the public to any Holy Week liturgies at the Vatican in Rome to protect the public’s health due to “the current global public health emergency.”

After medical experts and governors rebuffed Trump’s Easter Sunday reopening, he hedged a little, conceding that not all areas of the country may be hopping again like the Easter Bunny, but many would be able to, suggesting a county by county approach.

“I think we can open up sections, quadrants, keep them going until the whole country’s opened up. The people want to get back to work, they want to get back to work.”

“There are big sections of our country that are very, you know little affected by what’s taking place, then there are other sections that are very heavily affected. I would say by Easter we’ll have a recommendation,” Trump said of Fox Thursday.

81% of Americans still see the need for social distancing. The United States has also now surpassed China with the highest number of coronavirus cases, at 82,000 and growing.

This morning, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed he has tested positive for Covid-19.

Trump’s Easter Corona-free candy sugar high was consistent with his initial response to the pandemic, dismissing its potential threat and spread in the United States. Despite the growing number of confirmed cases and deaths, Trump, in the same Fox interview, again falsely suggested the flu and traffic accidents posed a bigger threat to the nation than Covid-19.

"We lose thousands of people a year to the flu but we never turned the economy off. We lose much more than that to automobile accidents. We didn’t call up automobile manufactures to say, ‘Stop making cars, we don’t want them anymore.' "

Would President Peep-Tweet still have that attitude if he or his daughter Ivanka tested positive for Covid-19 like Prime Minister Boris Johnson?

Trump again accused Democrats and the Media for wanting to keep the country closed to keep him from being reelected.

“I think there are certain people that would like it not to be open so quickly. I think there are certain people that would like [the economy] to do financially poorly, because they think that would be very good as far as defeating me at the polls,” Trump said in an interview.

“The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!" Trump tweeted.

Members of the Media are as inconvenienced and unsettled by the pandemic and the shutdowns as the general public. We also shop at grocery stores; frequent restaurants, bars and sporting events; have kids out of school and missing events like graduation; have elderly parents, aunts,uncles and grandparents; have siblings with jobs and businesses impacted. Layoffs have occurred in the industry due to loss of advertising from all those closed bars, restaurants and nightclubs.

Trump also retweeted a video clip of Joe Biden that was poorly doctored/spliced to make it seem he was coughing/hacking nonstop as if he had Covid-19.

It’s appearing as if Trump is more concerned with the health of his reelection campaign than the public he leads, which is why he’s prematurely calling for the reopening of businesses, churches and the end of social distancing.

Some would argue it’s not fair to equate Trump’s Covid-19 response to a yellow marshmallow Peep. I concede Trump’s presidential gravitas and Covid-19 response have been more the size and substance of a jellybean, an orange one, to be precise.

The United States has a Twitter-Peep hybrid as president when it needs an Eagle.
