Trump issues coronavirus guidelines

Washington – The President still remains at the recommendation stage. Trump has announced additional measures to stem the coronavirus pandemic in the United States but remains at the recommendation stage. After meeting with state governors, many of whom have made individual decisions to curb movement and social interaction, the President has issued guidelines for “slowing the spread of the virus. “

“Avoid gatherings of more than ten people, unnecessary trips, ending up in bars, restaurants or shopping malls …,” said Trump. But the President has not announced any nationally imposed measures or restrictions on travel within the United States. “These are recommendations,” said Trump. He also did not announce a postponement of the primary elections to be held on Wednesday in four states. “It is a serious thing to postpone elections … it is not necessary, we hope it will go well,” said the President.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the epidemiologist director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases and one of the leading advisers of the White House, explained the reasons for these measures. “When you face an epidemic, your measures will always seem to be excessive,” said Fauci, “because your numbers always put you behind where you are … The best way to do it face is to take actions that appear to be over-reactions. We hope people will take these actions seriously .”

Dr. Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the task force created to coordinate the fight against the virus, insisted on calling on the Americans to stay at home. ” If you are sick, if a member of your family is sick, you must remain in quarantine … we also ask the generation of millennials to limit their grouping. Against a virus that we do not see and against which we have no treatment, we call on all Americans to take these measures to heart to stop the spread of the virus .”

Vaccine

Warning that these measures could be in effect until July or August, Trump also announced that a vaccine had been tested and that the first results “were promising.” But Doctor Fauci tempered these hopes by recalling that the process was fast, but would take a long time.
