Coronavirus curve in the US has flattened, says Donald Trump

New Delhi : Claiming that the US has managed to flatten the coronavirus curve, President Donald Trump said that the country has moved into the next phase which is a “very safe phased and gradual reopening“.

“Thanks to the profound commitment of our citizens, we have flattened the curve and countless American lives have been saved. Our country is now in the next stage of the battle. A very safe, phased and gradual reopening of our country,” Trump said in his remarks at Honeywell International in Phoenix.

According to the data collected by the John Hopkins University, till Tuesday around 71,000 Americans had lost their lives and over 12 lakh people had tested positive for the coronavirus.

However, there has been a sharp decline in the number of new cases and deaths in the country in the last one week, prompting Trump to say that the country has been able to flatten the curve. This pandemic, he said, has underscored the vital importance of reassuring U.S. supply chains and constructing a powerful domestic manufacturing base.

“I have been talking about that for a long time. Oftentimes, you would see a plant like this at a different country doing the work you can be doing, and you will do it better,” the President said. “ The United States declared its independence nearly 250 years ago, but in recent decades, Washington politicians allowed our independence to be offshored, outsourced and ceded to foreign countries. But we are taking it back and we have been taking it back. And you look at our job numbers, you knew that we were taking it back,” Trump said.
