United States President Donald Trump has threatened schools to reopen or to forget about funding as the cases surpassed 3 million.
“In Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, SCHOOLS ARE OPEN WITH NO PROBLEMS. The Dems think it would be bad for them politically if U.S. schools open before the November Election, but is important for the children & families. May cut off funding if not open!,” Trump tweeted.

Trump’s reasoning is that in Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and many other countries, schools have managed to open. However, these countries have flattened the curve whereas the United States have been reporting over 60,000 cases daily.
The country has reported over 3,159,000 cases and the death toll nears 135,000.
Soon as he tweeted many opposers have come into the attack
First, their schools are not open right now, you liar. Second, Germany, Denmark and Norway have done what you failed to do: combat the spread of the virus. Your catastrophic failure will necessitate opening our schools later than those three countries open their schools.
