White House medic Deborah Birx said coronavirus deaths will 'dramatically' decrease by the end of May, but social distancing will go on for much longer
on Saturday that the US will see a dramatic decrease in coronavirus hospitalizations and deaths by the end of May.Several states have begun to ease social distancing measures, but public-health experts fear that cases could rebound as a result. White House coronavirus task force coordinator Deborah Birx has a rough timeline for how the pandemic will play out in the US over the next several months.
"Social distancing will be with us through the summer to really ensure that we protect one another as we move through these phases," Birx said. Georgia allowed certain non-essential businesses — including gyms, hair salons, and tattoo parlors — to reopen on Friday. That same day, Oklahoma reopened state parks and outdoor recreation areas, and allowed personal care businesses to resume appointments. Alaska also reopened retail businesses and dine-in services restaurants on Friday, under the proviso that those businesses operate at 25% capacity.Some public-health experts fear that easing restrictions too soon could allow cases to rebound.
"I truly do believe if current trend lines hold, that by early June, we could largely have this coronavirus epidemic behind us, and begin to see our nation open back up and go back to work," Pence told Limbaugh. "If some of those early studies hold out, there will be an awful lot of Americans in the fall and in the winter of next year that actually enjoy a degree of immunity from the coronavirus. That will be a bulwark against this." based on data from Detroit and Louisiana.
