Trump warns of ‘painful’ two weeks ahead as White House projects more than 100,000 coronavirus deaths

CNN  

CNN — President Donald Trump warned of a “painful” and “tough” two-week stretch ahead as he extended nationwide distancing measures that – even if followed closely – could still mean more than 100,000 and up to 240,000 Americans die from coronavirus. He was speaking during a White House news conference meant to formally reissue nationwide coronavirus guidelines after Trump – faced with dire models showing hundreds of thousands of potential American deaths, polls indicating support for social distancing and calamitous scenes at New York hospitals – determined another 30 days of social distancing were necessary to avert disaster. After he spoke, the top health officials on Trump’s task force presented a series of slides showing their models for how the social distancing measures might help prevent potentially millions of deaths. “We want to do much better than that.” Tuesday marked the expiration of the initial 15-day period for the federal social distancing guidelines that Trump announced earlier in March.
