A disconnect between Trump and health officials on coronavirus
1 / 4Trump Virus OutbreakPresident Donald Trump listens as he tours the Viral Pathogenesis Laboratory at the National Institutes of Health, Tuesday, March 3, 2020, in Bethesda, Md. WASHINGTON — Whom to believe on the coronavirus threat — the president saying one thing or the public health officials standing beside him and saying something a little different?
For days, Trump has talked up prospects for driving the new coronavirus away in short order. He has reserved some of his strongest words of concern for the economy as the stock market — the principal talking point for his reelection effort — has zigzagged like a fever chart. He has said a vaccine may be available “relatively soon,” a treatment sooner and even a cure may be possible.
Story continuesEn route to the National Institutes of Health in suburban Maryland, Trump held to his view that the spread of the virus across the U.S. isn't “inevitable at all,” a stance at odds with that of government scientists. “It is pretty extraordinary that we have to have our medicine and health professionals counter-messaging the president ... that they have to correct the record.” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told a hearing Tuesday.
Pharmaceutical company Gilead is testing a potential treatment and Fauci said, “We’ll know in a few months if it works.”
