China News Service, June 17th, according to US media reports, American infectious disease expert Fodge said on the 16th that it has been two weeks since the last meeting with President Trump to discuss issues related to the new crown epidemic.
Foch said the last meeting with the president was when he and other health experts reported to Trump on US vaccine development work.

Recently, with the reopening of states in the United States, some states have experienced a surge in confirmed cases of new crowns, raising concerns about the ongoing reopening plan. When asked whether the increase in the number of cases stemmed from the rapid reopening of states, Fodge said that it is "difficult to make a comprehensive conclusion" about the virus.
But he pointed out that some states “apparently” began to reopen before meeting the requirements. He also said that people's behavior may be responsible for the rise in the number of confirmed cases.
"The states may say which stage of opening they are in, but you may find that people do not follow the corresponding guidelines," he said. "This obviously increases the risk."
Foch warned recently that the pandemic is far from over, "we are still in the early stages of the epidemic."
The report said that although meetings with Trump are no longer so regular, Fuch said that the White House Epidemic Task Force is continuing to do "substantial" work. Earlier this month, he said, “Just because you didn’t see the press conference, it doesn’t mean (no) a lot of work is going on… Although the number of meetings is less, but the work is still very much busy."
