America (President Trump) is ready to get back to normal (playing golf)

Of all of the times that White House coronavirus task force member Deborah Birx has said things clearly intended for President Trump’s benefit, few were as transparent as her comments on Friday afternoon. She was walking through the improvements in the rate of spread of the coronavirus, drawing attention to regions still at risk.
“I’m going to call your attention to the top three states, the top three states with the largest percent,” she said — “and this is so you can all make your decisions about going outside, and social distancing, potentially playing golf if you’re very careful and you don’t touch the flags and all of those issues.”
You could play tennis, too, she added. A bit later, she reiterated the point.
Nearly 100,000 lives have been lost, and tens of millions are out of work.
