It seemed like the perfect day for viewing the stunning flower-filled trees.

With warm temperatures and the sun out, crowds of people strolled under the cherry blossoms and spread out picnic blankets in Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park last weekend, all but ignoring the posted signs warning of the dangers of COVID-19 spreading.

Near one of the tall white signs, two pairs of young women stood together and took selfies under the canopy of flowers, oblivious to the warnings.

On Monday evening, President Trump stressed what he called the need to reopen America for business even as he said the government also would continue tackling the spiraling coronavirus pandemic.

The White House’s team will make an assessment after next week as to how effective social distancing and other mitigation measures have been in stifling the spread of the virus, said Vice President Pence.

It’s possible at that time that Washington could lift some of the restrictions that have paralyzed the economy, Trump and Pence suggested, but they offered no guarantees and the details weren’t clear.

After a tense day on the Senate floor that included leaders trading barbs over who is to blame for failing to advance a new coronavirus response bill, the top Senate Democrat said late Monday night that he was “very, very close” to an agreement with the White House on a deal for a third wave of emergency funding that could go well past $1 trillion.

“There are still a few little differences. Neither of us think they are in any way going to get in the way of a final agreement. Secretary Mnuchin called the president, we told him we are very, very close to an agreement and he seemed very happy with that,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters shortly before midnight.

Schumer met with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin four times Monday, including a meeting shortly after 8 p.m., a Schumer spokesman had said.
