Trump confident of US to fight against coronavirus

At a White House briefing, Trump defended his administration’s handling of the crisis and said health experts were “ready, willing and able” to move quickly if the virus spreads. The rumors of coronavirus reaching the United States had spread recently and has created a panic around the country. Trump made his comments as public health officials warned Americans to prepare for more coronavirus cases. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed an infection of the new coronavirus in California in someone who had not travelled outside the United States or been exposed to a person known to have the virus, a first for the country. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio called on the government to help the city obtain 300,000 extra protective masks. There were no confirmed cases in the city but de Blasio announced plans to provide up to 1,200 hospital beds if needed. “The risk to the American people remains very low,” Trump said, flanked by Pence and public health officials. He further continued, “It probably will, it possibly will. It could be at a very small level, or it could be at a larger level. Whatever happens were totally prepared.” To read more from ProperGaanda: Saudia Arab revokes entry for Umrah or tourism as coronavirus spreads
