PResident Trump said Thursday that the coronavirus pandemic is “under control,” while Sun Belt states report daily records on new case counts and the United States is close to 2.7 million cases.
“[China and Europe are] we are under control, and we are also under control, “Trump said during a press conference on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the United States reported a record number of coronavirus cases on Wednesday: 52,789. Despite warnings that the pandemic will worsen by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s infectious disease expert, Trump insisted that the renewed outbreaks in the southern states will be short-lived.
“Some areas that were heavily affected are now doing very well. Some were doing very well, and we thought [the virus] They may be gone, or they may break out, we are putting out the fires, “he said.
California, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia broke their previous one-day records for new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday. Death rates and hospitalizations are on the rise, forcing hospital systems in states like Texas and Arizona to prepare for a surge that would require adding more beds to emergency departments when intensive care units fill up.
Trump said Wednesday that the coronavirus “will go away.”
