Five Democratic senators intend to create a commission that will determine how to begin normalizing daily life, setting standards for opening schools, places of worship, and businesses that have been shut due to the pandemic.
The senators on Monday introduced a bill that lays out their plans for establishing a task force called “the America Forward Commission.” Its main purpose would be to develop strategies for reopening the various sectors of the economy while mitigating the spread of the CCP virus.

Schatz is joined by Senators Kamala Harris (Calif.), Cory Booker (N.J.), Michael Bennet (Colo.) and Chris Murphy (Conn.) in creating the national commission.
President Trump has been eager to reopen businesses and get the economy back on track. He has been heeding the advice of experts that have said to be cautious about normalizing social interactions so as to avoid a second wave of infections.
Last week President Trump announced a second task force, the “Opening Our Country” council, the details of which he said would be introduced soon. Trumps council will include a group of experts tasked with advising the President on the best course to opening the economy in phases.

Im not determined anything. The facts are going to determine what I do. But we do want to get the country open. So important.”
According to Johns Hopkins University, there were over 570,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States as of Tuesday afternoon, with over 23,000 deaths.
