CORONAVIRUS: “And when you look at what happens during a lockdown, I just say it very loudly, it’s horrible what happens with drugs, alcohol, depression, loss of jobs, business closures. It’s a terrible thing. So this administration, under any circumstances, will not go to a lockdown, but we’ll be very vigilant, very careful. We understand the [coronavirus] disease. It’s a complicated disease, but we understand it very well.”
