When asked at a White House briefing on Thursday afternoon about the recently confirmed cases of corona virus, President Trump said it was “a testament to the amount of research we are doing.”

Trump’s Words were :

“Number one, you don’t know what the numbers are in China. We are testing tremendous numbers of people.”

“They [the American people] have to go back to work, our country has to go back, our country is based on that and I think it’s going to happen pretty quickly.

We may take sections of our country, we may take large sections of our country that aren’t so seriously affected and we may do it that way.

A lot of people misinterpret when I say go back –

they’re going to be practicing as much as you can social distancing, and washing your hands and not shaking hands and all of the things we talked about.”
