Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman renewed his call for a 30-day-shutdown to fight the coronavirus pandemic in a Twitter post on Monday, reacting to a tweet former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein had posted ten hours earlier.
Blankfein had supported “extreme measures” to flatten the virus curve, but said those at lower risk of the disease should return to work “within a very few weeks”, pointing out dangers a longer shutdown would bring to the economy.
