Trump had hoped for full churches, jumpstarted economy by two weeks from now. Experts persuaded him otherwise; distancing guidelines extended to end of April.
President Trump announced Sunday that federal social distancing guidelines meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus would be extended to April 30, setting aside his calls to jump-start the U.S. economy within another two weeks and fill churches on Easter Sunday.
Previously, Trump had expressed impatience with isolation measures that have all but shut down large parts of the economy and upended people’s daily lives. Many stay-at-home orders were imposed by states and municipalities before the federal guidelines took effect; as a result, many of those closures and restrictions would have continued regardless of whether Trump declared he was easing the federal guidelines.
An academic study suggested earlier this month such a death toll would result if nothing were done to stem the spread.Dr. Deborah Birx, the task force’s coordinator, acknowledged the “sacrifices” being made by ordinary Americans, and said the decision to extend the guidelines was based on science. “That was aspirational,” Trump acknowledged Sunday. Instead, he said “Easter should be the peak number” of deaths, which have surpassed 2,400 nationwide.
