Trump Rules Out Lockdown
President Donald Trump was clear and concise at his Friday press conference: Under no circumstances will his administration shut down the country. The announcement comes on the heels of a new vaccine that will counter the coronavirus pandemic in record time.
“According to some estimates, a national lockdown costs $50 billion a day and hundreds of thousands of jobs every single day. This administration will not be going to a lockdown,” Trump said. “A lockdown costs lives and a lot of problems. The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself.” The vaccine, developed by Pfizer, will be available to the elderly and most vulnerable in a matter of weeks, and to the general public as soon as April. Here’s more of Trump’s speech, presented by the Los Angeles Times.
