Good morning. I call this hearing to order. Before i address the topic of todays hearing i want to say a few words about whats happening in communities across our country today. This is a time of great pain and unrestfor our nation. Americans are truly outraged by recent killings. Anyone who watched the video of the murder of george floyd has to be horrified and heartbroken. The resulting peaceful protests about police abuse against any american citizen are important and necessary our nation needs to listen to the voices of africanamericans about police brutality. Every american citizen deserves justice under the law. Some of the peacefulprotests have been hijacked by violent criminals. The destructing and looting and arson must stop.

President. His support among independents gone straight up despite the intense opposition of the media and the democrats. More positives. At the president ial town hall, mr. Trump suggested a vaccine is possible by december. Dr. Fauci says january, if everything goes well. That would be a major step towards a fullscale return to work.

Frustrated by the scale of the economic damage, more and more americans are demanding a restart, and this was the first full week that most states is have reopened many businesses closed by the lockdown. So far at least we havent seen a big increase in coronavirus cases. But as more people return to the work force, the virus will presumably start to spread again. Some new models suggested this week that deaths from the disease could jump significantly as Society Moves towards more normalcy. That there will be further spread of the virus certain, but should that really stop us from conducting any form of Economic Activity . When the lockdowns were first proposed, the idea, remember, was they would

Add that to the fact that this Coronavirus Crisis presumably will pass over a couple quarters, and that hes eye academically at least the stock market should be rallying. To you buy that .
