President Donald Trump said “there’ll be more death” related to the coronavirus pandemic but claimed it’s time to reopen the country as a growing number of states move to slowly relax their stay-at-home mandates.
“I think we’re doing very well on the vaccines but, with or without a vaccine, it’s going to pass, and we’re going to be back to normal,” Trump told ABC News in an interview while visiting a mask-making factory in Arizona.
As scientists around the world race to develop a potential solution, researchers at Pfizer Inc. and New York University are working on a never-before-tried coronavirus vaccine that the pharmaceutical company says could be available by September.
Meanwhile, the death toll in the U.S. rose to more than 71,000, according to NBC News’ count, and there are more than 1.2 million confirmed cases of the virus.
