President Donald Trump on Thursday warned of “greater mortality” of permanent shutdowns in the United States and cited a guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which earlier this month urged a safe return to schools in the fall.

His latest remarks at a press conference on the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, also known as the novel coronavirus, come as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday released its own delayed guidance for reopening schools.
