New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio slammed President Trump’s response to the coronavirus, saying that he has “a misunderstanding of this enemy that we are facing.” “He's doing this kind of false optimism, acting like it's going to be easy to come back,” de Blasio said. “It's not going to be easy, but we will do it. But if we jump the gun, we're going to regret it.”“We can't do that if we cannot even function as cities,” he said. “I heard dead silence — had a number of conversations with him, have heard nothing back.
De Blasio also discussed his decision to cancel all public events through June. “It’s so sad, but we're still talking about hundreds of people dying a day. We've got to make sure we get this right once and for all,” he said.
