White House Readies New Message on Coronavirus

“After several months of mixed messages on the coronavirus pandemic, the White House is settling on a new one: Learn to live with it,” NBC News reports.

“Administration officials are planning to intensify what they hope is a sharper, and less conflicting, message of the pandemic next week, after struggling to offer clear directives amid a crippling surge in cases across the country. On Thursday, the United States reported more than 55,000 new cases of coronavirus and infection rates were hitting new records in multiple states.”

“At the crux of the message, officials said, is a recognition by the White House that the virus is not going away any time soon — and will be around through the November election.”
