ABC News – While still maintaining that this will be a difficult week for Americans amid the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Tuesday that he feels “a lot more optimistic” as he reassured citizens “there is a light at the end of this tunnel.”

“I absolutely believe this is going to be an incredibly sad and an incredibly hard week for our country, but we’ve had tough times in this country before and we always come out stronger,” Adams told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos in an interview on “Good Morning America.”

“The good news is that when you look at Italy, when you look at Spain, when you look at Washington and California, and even New York and New Jersey, they have truly started to flatten their curves,” he added. “They’ve seen cases level off and start to come down, and that’s what I want people to understand - that it’s going to be a hard and tough week, but the American people have the power to change the trajectory of this epidemic if we come together like we have after past tragedies in this country.”

“But I want the American people to know that there is a light at the end of this tunnel,” Adams added, “and we feel confident that if we keep doing the right thing for the rest of this month, that we can start to slowly reopen in some places.”

Well, that's a whole lot better than Pearl Harbor.

So...not millions dying through August? Sorry Fearpers

[max americana]

sounds better than Fauci and Brix’s “nah, we all gonna die” outlook..

[dp0622]

Damn straight!!

The start of a 3 and a half year nightmare.

A 2 front war against two Brutal military powers.

And we still needed atomic weapons to save another half a million American lives

[nickcarraway]

Who said millions would die through August?

[chris37]

I have zero confidence in anything this person says.

[Third Person]

what a clown - I’m so sick of these people

[Chauncey Gardiner]

From Pearl Harbor and 911 to this within 24 hours

[teevolt]

First saw him get interviewed on Face the Nation about 4 weeks ago. He was horrible.
This Questions weren’t that bad (for MSM) anand the dude was deer in headlights, came off as totally clueless.

[Cobra64]

Yeah, there are a dozen or so FReepers posting (even insignificant) stats daily... hoping to gin up hysteria and panic are pathetic morons looking for attention.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Wait what happened to Pearl Harbor? Isnt this the same guy who said “Nah we dont need to wear masks(Because they didnt have enough masks thats why) I think Adams is a good dude but he keeps on changing his opinion every 10 minutes

[tennmountainman]

Isn’t he the moron who said don’t go the grocery store for 2 weeks?

[ealgeone]

Maybe the Coral Sea....but not yet Midway!

[arthurus]

Why chloroquine works and ventilators are the WRONG tool

[crosdaddy]

No, Dr.birx

[CJ Wolf]

Just hoping the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t some kind of big corona train. Wiley coyote comes to mind.

[MortMan]

...and we feel confident that if we keep doing the right thing for the rest of this month...

I find it curious that no actual evidence is produced to show "social distancing" is causing the curve to flatten. I also see little discussion as to whether the assumed seed date for this virus is right or wrong.

Skeptical cat is skeptical.

[Fledermaus]

Dozen? Bigger number than that.

[tennmountainman]

K. Does she expect me to eat my cat’s food?

[crosdaddy]

No, starve so the cat will have something to eat later ;-)
