EDISON, N.J. (Tribune News Service) — A day after President Donald Trump left the hospital and urged Americans not to be afraid of COVID-19, the head of the White House’s coronavirus task force spent part of a visit to a New Jersey college Tuesday calling on people to keep making sacrifices this fall to protect against outbreaks.
Dr. Deborah Birx met with faculty, students, and state officials during a stop at Rowan University in Glassboro — a school that has coped with COVID-19 spikes since classes resumed last month.
... Birx said people need to keep wearing masks, practicing social distancing, washing their hands, refraining from large gatherings, and even being cautious when interacting with family members.
“We have to hang on through October, November,” she said during a news conference at the school. “Hopefully we’ll have a vaccine that can really help. We’re gonna be working on this together for several months."
“As Americans, we should be able to alter our social experiences through the fall to protect one another," she said.
