Despite record levels of new cases nationwide, the Trump administration is pushing for school to reopen in a few weeks and resisting a federal mandate to wear masks in public
Trump defended his handling of the coronavirus pandemic in an interview broadcast on Sunday, including his statement that there were only embers of the virus popping up around the country.“We have embers and we do have flames. Florida became more flamelike, but it’s – it’s going to be under control.”“I’ll be right eventually,” he said. “It’s going to disappear and I’ll be right.”
Throughout the United States, every metric to measure the outbreak is going in the wrong direction – rising cases, deaths, hospitalizations and positivity rates of test results. Trump said he did not agree with CDC Director Robert Redfield that this fall and winter will be one of the most difficult times in American public health, as hospitals deal with the seasonal flu on top of COVID-19 cases. “I don’t know and I don’t think he knows,” Trump said.Trump also called Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious diseases expert, “a little bit of an alarmist.”
