The United States is one of the worst affected countries in the world when it comes to coronavirus. But the country has now reached a tipping point.
At least if you ask Donald Trump.
Overnight into Swedish time Friday, the president said the United States “turned a corner” noting that the number of new cases per week has dropped by 44 percent since the end of July.
Fauci: Donald Trump is wrong
But Anthony Fauci, America’s leading infection control expert, disagrees with the president of the United States.
– Sorry, but I disagree. Because if you look at the statistics, it’s worrying. We have a plateau phase of around 40,000 cases per day, and deaths are around 1,000. I hope we don’t see an increase in the number of cases, he says in an interview with American MSNBC.
– What we do not want to see is entering the fall, where people spend more time indoors, with a baseline of 40,000 infected a day, he continues.
Trump: vaccine may be available in October
Trump has previously praised America’s handling of the coronavirus.
“We have done a fantastic job and with a speed never seen before,” he said earlier this week.
At the same time, he claimed that a vaccine could be available from October.
– I think we can already have a vaccine in October. And I’m not saying this for political reasons. We have done a fantastic job and with a speed never seen before.
