Trump administration officials say the White House plans to adopt a new message about the new coronavirus pandemic in the coming weeks, with the general tone summing up how “we need to live with it,” according to a NBC News report.

The plan, NBC reports, is for top officials to emphasize the need for the economy and life to move forward regardless of the virus.
The promotion of current pharmaceuticals and treatments for the virus will reportedly be emphasized as part of the White House strategy.
“The virus is with us, but we have to live with it,” an official told NBC.
The most frequent coronavirus task force briefings are also reportedly part of the administration’s plans, with more meetings starting this week in response to escalating virus cases across the country.
The United States on Thursday set a record for new daily COVID-19 cases at 55,220, breaking Wednesday’s record mark of 52,789. And over the past week, some states have seen consecutive days of record numbers of coronaviruses.
Reports of a new White House message follow Trump saying this week that he believes the virus will eventually “just go away.”
Trump told Fox Business that he is optimistic about the economic recovery from the pandemic-induced shutdown, citing recent numbers of strong jobs and a pickup in retail sales.
“We are coming back in a very strong way with a ‘V’,” Trump said, referring to a V-shaped recovery. “And I think we will be very good with the coronavirus. I think at some point that will go away, I hope.” .
Trump has also repeatedly said, including in an Axios interview last month, that the United States has “to go back to business.”
“We have to get back to business. We have to live our lives again. I can’t keep doing this,” Trump told Axios as he mocked his demonstration in Oklahoma. “And I think it is safe. I think it is very safe.”
The White House has been working to tackle renewed outbreaks as states began reopening after a brief slowdown in cases during the blockades in March and April. Another strategy that management is considering is the so-called group test to dramatically expand testing capabilities.
