"The peak, the highest point of death rate, is likely to hit in two weeks," Trump told a coronavirus briefing yesterday (pic) in the White House Rose Garden, flanked by top advisers and business leaders,"Nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is won."
WASHINGTON/ LOS ANGELES: President Donald Trump on Sunday extended his stay-at-home guidelines until the end of April, dropping a hotly criticized plan to get the economy up and running by mid-April after a top medical adviser said more than 100,000 Americans could die from the coronavirus outbreak.
The reversal by Trump, which he said would be disclosed in greater detail on Tuesday, came as the U.S. death toll topped 2,460 from the respiratory disease, according to a Reuters tally, with more than 141,000 cases, the most of any country in the world. (Graphic: https://tmsnrt.rs/2w7hX9T)
