'It's possible there will be some because you won't be locked into an apartment or a house or whatever it is,' President Donald Trump told ABC News in an interview on Tuesday.
That number was whittled down several weeks ago from 93 vaccines in development that were studied as part of the program, known as “Operation Warp Speed,” officials said.
Trump also claimed in the interview that anyone in the country who wants a test would be able to get one “right now” if they are afraid to return to work.When pressed why he is urging a reopening even as government health experts, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, warned that doing so too soon would be balancing death with the economy, Trump compared a rising coronavirus death toll to the nation’s suicide and drug overdose rate.
“We have to get our country back, you know, people are dying the other way too when you look at what's happened with drugs, it goes up, when you look at suicides,” Trump said. “I mean take a look at what's going on. People are losing their jobs. We have to bring it back and that's what we're doing.”
