Listen to this articleUS President Donald Trump’s White House adviser has claimed that there will be no second wave of coronavirus in the country. The director of the National Economic Council and chief economic advisor to President Donald Trump, Larry Kudlow delivered his words during an interview with CNBC. He said, “There is no second wave coming. It’s just hot spots. They send in CDC teams, we’ve got the testing procedures, we’ve got the diagnostics, we’ve got the PPE. And so I really think it’s a pretty good situation”. The comments came just a day after White House trade adviser Peter Navarro informed CNN that the administration is preparing for a possible second wave of the disease in the fall.
Navarro said, “We are filling the stockpile in anticipation of a possible problem in the fall. We are doing everything we can beneath the surface, working as hard as we possibly can. You prepare for what can possibly happen. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but of course, you prepare”. Point to be noted that more than 23 US states across the country are registering an increase in newly reported cases compared to the previous week. Florida has become the 7th state to hit 100,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus. Most of the areas reporting surging numbers of cases have not previously experienced a peak and fall so this statistically doesn’t count as a resurgence of cases, but a continued increase.
Kudlow said, “Actually, I think nationwide the positivity rate is still quite low, well under 10%. There are some hot spots. We’re on it. We know how to deal with this stuff now, we’ve come a long way from last winter”. It is noteworthy that the US Health experts have said the current spikes may likely be the cause of states reopening businesses during the 1st wave of the coronavirus. The Covid-19 has infected more than 2,300,000 American people and caused the death of at least 120,000. There have been 8.9 million cases of coronavirus and 466,000 deaths worldwide. President Trump informed supporters at his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma that he asked for COVID-19 testing to be slowed down due to there were so many positive cases being discovered in the country.
