President Donald Trump said this week that he would like to reopen the U.S. economy by Easter (April 12) -- but the coronavirus wreaking havoc across the globe is becoming worse, not better, the Huff Post website reports today (March 26, 2020).
Dr. Anthony Fauci -- the country's top infectious disease expert -- pointed out yesterday that the virus is determining "the timeline" for the pandemic.
"You've got to be realistic," Fauci said, when asked when states could expect to see a reduction of infections. "You've got to understand that you don't make the timeline, the virus makes the timeline."
"You can't make an arbitrary decision until you see what you're dealing with. You need the data," added Fauci, who -- like other medical professionals -- has urged Americans to "hunker down" and practice social distancing to mitigate the spread of the virus.
