President Donald Trump is adamant that the country does not need another nationwide shut down to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Actually, he claims doing so would so be “unscientific” and would ignore statistics about the virus.

Trump blasted Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden during a press conference on Thursday for insisting that he would follow the advice of medical experts and implement a national shutdown to curb the spread of the coronavirus. 

“The approach to the virus is a very unscientific, blanket lockdown by the Democrats,” Trump said as he claimed a nationwide shutdown would take “all of these incredible statistics” and throw “them out the window.”

He continued, “Whether expert or not, we’re not doing any more shutdowns. We did the shutdown, and now we’re doing the opening. And there won’t be any more shutdowns. There could be little sections, a small section where you have a breakout.”

“But we’re not talking about shutdowns like they were talking about depending on experts. We’re not going to be doing that,” he added.

Trump has previously blasted Biden after he said in an interview that he would follow the advice of experts and shut down the U.S. economy to curb the virus outbreak if it was recommended.

“I heard him the other day, ‘If they said,’ so that means that if some doctor said we have to shut it down, we’re going to shut it down?” Trump said as he called the proposition a “dangerous statement.”

Biden later tried to clarify his comments as he said, “There is going to be no need, in my view, to be able to shut down the whole economy. I got asked by David Muir a question — if I was asked to shut everything down. I took that as the generic question ‘Am I going to follow the science?”
