"I absolutely believe this is going to be an incredibly sad and an incredibly hard week for our country," Adams told"But the American people have the power to change the trajectory of this epidemic if we come together like we have after past tragedies in this county." "We need you to continue doing your part. And most people actually are — over 90% of the country is actually doing the right thing right now," Adams said.
