President Donald Trump advocated a quick reopening for the U.S. economy on Tuesday, while conceding that the decision could cost 'some' additional lives lost to COVID-19.
President Donald Trump continued to urge states to push forward in reopening the economy on Tuesday, while acknowledging that easing restrictions could go"badly" for some and result in additional deaths from COVID-19.
The president echoed the sentiment during a later interview with ABC's David Muir. Trump was asked about recent comments from Dr. Anthony Fauci, who warned that rushing to reopen the economy would involve accepting additional deaths caused by the virus. "People are dying the other way too," said Trump."When you look at what's happened with drugs, it goes up. When you look at suicides, 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."
