So the Fed is buying up corporate debt via ETFs today.

Looks like the market loves that.

So game out the Trump plan for me...

Everyone heads back to work, more in the Red states, less in the sane states. Our GOP governor has done good in OH, NY and WA will stay locked down.

OK, America is open for business... Just as hospitals start getting overwhelmed. Horrifying footage streams out of New York.

Everybody will just go back to work, right?

I don't think this plan does anything but increase the panic.
