President Trump is expected to visit the CDC headquarters this week. It's unclear if Vice President Pence, who is in charge of the administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak, will join him.
Vice President Mike Pence said there could be more deaths in the US from the coronavirus but emphasized most Americans should not worry about it.
When asked during a taped interview with CNN's Jake Tapper about the possibility of more deaths, Pence said “it is possible." In his remarks, Pence also mentions Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. "I mean the reality that Dr. Fauci and others explained to me since I took on these duties a few days ago, is that for most people that contract the coronavirus, they will recover. They will deal with a respiratory illness, we’ll get them treatment, but for people that have other conditions that would militate toward a worse outcome that, we could have more. We could have more sad news. But the American people should know the risk for the average American remains low," Pence said.
