'They are dying, that's true. And you have — it is what it is. But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can. It's under control as much as you can control it,' Pres. Trump says when asked about the uncontrolled spread of coronavirus in the US.
Asked how he thinks 1,000 deaths a day is as much as the U.S. can control, the president said,"First of all, we have done a great job. We've gotten the governors everything they needed. They didn't do their — many of them didn't, and some of them did.
"Someday we'll sit down, we'll talk about the successful ones, the good ones...We had good and bad. And we had a lot in the middle," he added. Speaking to reporters in the White House briefing room Monday, Trump stated that"the virus is receding" and said that they’ve seen"slow improvements" in hotspots across the South and West, singling out Arizona, Texas and Florida.
The president said cases have increased in Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Missouri, but added,"I think you'll find that they're soon going to be very much under control."
