Trump talked about attacking the coronavirus in hard-hit areas by supplying more ventilators and deploying military personnel to go 'into a battle that they've never trained for.'
President Donald Trump began his Coronavirus Task Force briefing at the White House Saturday afternoon by telling reporters that the upcoming week will be another deadly one amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Though neither Trump nor his task force Saturday would give specific numbers on how many deaths they expect to happen, they said the number of cases should peak within the next week, and that the number of deaths lag behind them. "We're looking for a focus in the hardest-hit regions. Some of them are obvious, and some of them are not so obvious. They spring up. They hit you like you got hit by a club," Trump said.
"We are going to see deaths that are going to continue to go up. At the same time, we want to focus on number of new cases," Fauci said Saturday."What we are doing is making a difference so we have to continue to do so." "We'll be telling them where they're going," Trump said."They're going into war, they're going into a battle that they've never trained for. Nobody's trained for, nobody's seen this, I would say since 1917, which was the greatest of them all."
