Fox News personality and former White House press secretary Dana Perino floated the idea of a “2nd task force” that would explore reopening the U.S. economy, and it looks like President Donald Trump likes the idea.

Trump on Saturday retweeted Perino’s post along with the message, “Good idea Dana!”

Fox News host Tucker Carlson devoted almost 10 minutes of his Friday night show to questioning the wisdom of allowing well-meaning but single-minded medical professionals like Dr. Fauci to make decisions that could cause untold suffering for millions.

To Carlson, millions “out of work and staring at poverty” is a “far bigger disaster than the virus itself, by any measure.”

“Tony Fauci, decent as he may be, can’t see that, because he doesn’t think it’s his job to see it,” Carlson continued. “But even a doctor should be able to think beyond the models. Our response to coronavirus could turn this into a far poorer nation. Poor countries are unhealthy countries, always and everywhere. In poor countries, people die of treatable diseases. In poor countries, people are far more vulnerable to obscure viruses, like the one we are fighting now.” ......
