Bannon is a real hawk on this matter, the first story shows what he said about 8 days ago but the next story is more recent, he basically predicted Trump would extend the shutdown, which did happen. And all of that, sounds like what Bannon has said before, he still talks to the President regularly:
Steve Bannon: We Need A "Full Shutdown" Right Now; "Go Full Hammer On The Virus"
Posted By Tim Hains On Date March 22, 2020
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon joined Maria Bartiromo on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures" to talk about what the federal government can do about the coronavirus pandemic.
"If you look at the situation we are in, you have to put in three buckets," Bannon said. "The pandemic, the economic crisis caused by the pandemic, both the short-term and the deeper things on the supply chain, and then the financial crisis that is now on top of every financial market across every asset class in the world."
"I don't think we have months to do this. I think what should happen, and my recommendation would be to drop the hammer, don’t mitigate the virus, don't spread the curve, shatter the curve," Bannon stated. "And go full hammer on the virus right now with a full shutdown, use the stimulus to bridge the economic crisis — it may take 2 trillion, it may take 3 trillion to force cash into the little entrepreneur and the little guy."

The last I knew, I think on Newsmax or on OAN, there's a show called "Steve Bannon's war room" or something, I will have to see and record these shows.
Steve Bannon predicts Trump will opt for 'harder lockdown' to fight coronavirus
Daniel Chaitin
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon predicted President Trump will implement more restrictive measures to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.
Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, reasoned that a "harder" shutdown will institute a faster revival of the economy, even as the president has voiced support for paring back many restrictions across the country.
Still, Bannon said he believes there will be a "big shift" this weekend after the president sees more data.
