Washington: The United States is making very good headway in respect to vaccines for the coronavirus pandemic and also therapeutically, President Donald Trump has said.
The US has made a lot of progress in the fight against the coronavirus, he said.
“China should not have let it happen, but it happened. All over the world, it’s happened, which is a very sad thing. But our number is really the low watermark and it’s getting better. And it’ll end up being gone,” Trump he told reporters during a White House roundtable on senior citizens.
“We’re making very good headway with respect to vaccines. So, we’re making very good headway therapeutically and a cure-wise, I think really, really tremendous headway. I’ve seen the results. I’ve met with some of the people that do the work, smart people, great people, people that have succeeded before,” he said.
“We’ll have some very good news for you on vaccines and therapeutics and cures, frankly, because I guess, if you look at therapeutics, if it acts fast enough, I guess you’d call it a cure, wouldn’t you say? So, I think we’re going to have some very good news on that,” Trump said.
“But we’re at a low mark. Some of them, like in Texas, we had a prison population that went heavy and now it’s controlled. We understand the disease. We’ve learned,” he said. (PTI)
