Carson: Quickly Evolving Coronavirus Treatments Could Change Landscape ‘In the Next Week or Two’

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson said Tuesday the Trump administration and the coronavirus task force are together working every day to stop the pandemic. He is confident they are making good progress to that end, including the development of medication to treat the virus that could change the trajectory of its spread in the coming weeks.

“The big message is this will pass,” Carson told SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. “We will get through this.”

Before his appointment to HUD, Carson was one of the world’s top neurosurgeons and was the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins at age 33.

“The task force meets every single day and not only the people on the task force but we all have multiple communications with others throughout the administration, throughout the academic world, the scientific world, utilizing the best information as possible that we can give to the president,” Carson said.
