“You’re going to get to a situation where the West Wing and members of Congress are going to have more Covid-19 [cases] than the entire country of New Zealand because of this laxity, “Scaramucci said, a day after US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for the virus.
Scaramucci, an American financier, businessman, and political consultant, recently wrote a book on Trump’s life.
“Trump the Blue Collar President” was released in October 2018.
Scaramucci referred to the President of the United States as “the bully at the high school lunch table” when referring to his control over the Republican Senate.
He said he “hopes this is a wake-up call for the president and his staff.”
In August, Trump called the New Zealand coronavirus cluster a “major outbreak” and “a major surge.”
At a press conference at the White House, Trump said: “By the way, New Zealand had a big outbreak, and other countries were late trying to keep us from looking as good as we should because we’ve done an amazing job. They’re having a lot of outbreaks. But they have been able to turn them off and we will turn them off. “
To date, New Zealand has recorded 1,493 cases of Covid-19, including a new case today in managed isolation.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said that she cannot see any real comparison to the tens of thousands of daily cases in the United States.
“Obviously each country is experiencing its own fight with Covid-19, it is a complicated virus but not one in which I would compare the current state of New Zealand with that of the United States,” he said.
Today, Ardern expressed New Zealand’s best wishes to Trump.
