What is Trump's deal with having churches open on Easter despite the current situation? He previously wanted the nation to reopen for Easter, now he wants to seek some exceptions for Easter church gatherings? Is he just stupid or just playing to the evangelical base? Why is he looking to put people in danger like this?

“Is he just stupid?” Hasn’t that already been endlessly adjudicated?

Anyone who wants to go to a place of public worship should be free to do so, provided they sign a fully binding agreement that they forfeit all medical care until the pandemic is over.

The following is only my opinion:

If there are no signs of sickness in isolated pockets then why not?

Because COVID-19 can be spread before symptoms actually show, and even while asymptomatic.

All 60 people felt fine during choir practice. 45 of those 60 ended up infected. 2 died.

A choir decided to go ahead with rehearsal. Now dozens of members have Covid-19 and two are dead.

"MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — With the coronavirus quickly spreading in Washington state in early March, leaders of the Skagit Valley Chorale debated whether to go ahead with weekly rehearsal.
The virus was already killing people in the Seattle area, about an hour’s drive to the south.
But Skagit County hadn’t reported any cases, schools and businesses remained open, and prohibitions on large gatherings had yet to be announced.
On March 6, Adam Burdick, the choir’s conductor, informed the 121 members in an email that amid the “stress and strain of concerns about the virus,” practice would proceed as scheduled at Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church...."

That's why.

Please don't bring facts into the discussion.

The Trump said, in a somewhat beatific tone, that Easter was very important to him. They edited out the part where he said it was a real up and coming religious holiday, but regardless, the day has real significance for the man. We have to trust his judgement. He's almost always
