Not calling it 'perfect'
When President Donald Trump was promoting an unproven coronavirus cure, he said, "What do you have to lose?" That refrain isn't part of his current pitch for reopening the country and its economy.
"It's possible there will be some [death] because you won't be locked into an apartment or a house or whatever it is," Trump said in an interview with ABC's "World News Tonight" on Tuesday from Arizona, where he visited a factory making N95 masks. "But at the same time, we're going to practice social distancing, we're going to be washing hands, we're going to be doing a lot of the things that we've learned to do over the last period of time."
"I'm viewing our great citizens of this country to a certain extent and to a large extent as warriors. They're warriors. We can't keep our country closed. We have to open our country," Trump said as he was leaving Washington. He stuck to the theme while in Arizona. "I'm not saying anything is perfect, and, yes, will some people be affected? Yes. Will some people be affected badly? Yes. But we have to get our country open and we have to get it open soon." He's leaving the state-by-state calls up to the governors.
Break my own guidelines - what do you have to lose? I must be re-elected !!!!
Trump also lapsed into wishful-sounding thinking on ABC by suggesting the virus could go away without a vaccine, which isn't expected to be ready until the start of 2021 at the earliest, while scientists are warning the public to prepare for new waves of infections starting in the fall. "There'll be more death … the virus will pass, with or without a vaccine,” the president said. “And I think we're doing very well on the vaccines, but with or without a vaccine, it's going to pass, and we're going to be back to normal.”
The U.S. death toll passed 70,000 on Tuesday. Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said on NBC's "Today" show that while New York, the U.S. epicenter for coronavirus since March, has recorded a sustained decline in cases, the pandemic is getting worse in other parts of the country. "There's about 20 states where cases are going up on a daily basis, and so are hospitalizations," Gottlieb said.
An Associated Press analysis found new confirmed infections per day in the U.S. exceed 20,000, and deaths per day are well over 1,000, based on figures from Johns Hopkins University. And public health officials warn that the failure to flatten the curve and drive down the infection rate in places could lead to many more deaths — perhaps tens of thousands — as people are allowed to venture out and businesses reopen.
But with the administration's focus shifting to the economy, the White House is planning to wind down its coronavirus task force. Vice President Mike Pence told reporters it could wrap up its work by early June. “We will have something in a different form,” Trump said.
