Speaking at a contentious White House coronavirus news briefing on Sunday that involved testy standoffs with multiple reporters, President Trump declared that "the peak in death rate" in the coronavirus pandemic "is likely to hit in two weeks," and said the federal government will be extending its social-distancing guidelines through April 30.
"The modeling estimates that the peak in death rate is likely to hit in two weeks. I will say it again. The peak, the highest point of death rates, remember this, is likely to hit in two weeks... Therefore, we will be extending our guidelines to April 30, to slow the spread," the president said in the White House Rose Garden.
Saying his earlier hope that the country could reopen by Easter was "just an aspiration," Trump added: "We can expect that by June 1, we will be well on our way to recovery" and that "a lot of great things will be happening."
When asked about worst-case scenarios if the country were to remain closed indefinitely, the president responded, "You're gonna have large numbers of suicides -- tremendous [numbers of] suicides... You will see drugs being used like nobody has ever used them before, and people are going to be dying all over the place."

I’m going to get put in the time out box if this keeps up!
This place is crawling with fair weathered friends.
Our man will fight and needs us to buck up. We cannot expect one man to do it all single handidly.
WE have to step up and cover HIS back!
Somebody please tell me when we last had someone like POTUS to fight for us and all that we hold near and dear?
It’s amazing to me, to see so many people on this forum who DO NOT trust the President, on this.
I’ve heard that he’s being played/duped and is just ‘putty’ in the docs/advisors hands.
Unreal.
This good man, who’s sacrificed quite a comfortable lifestyle...and, has built up an amazing business empire, over the decades....is being duped....by a giant hoax.
These folks really need to get a life and stop chasing their DU scented tails.
I trust President Trump’s decisions....especially on this CV crisis.
He’s putting the safety of our countrymen/women over economy, for now.
An economy that HE himself built up to numbers not seen, in decades.
And, he’s allowing that to crash....over a hoax??
He knows it will all come back....stronger than ever before.
God bless and keep this good man. We don’t deserve him, but I thank the good Lord, every day for giving us PDJT as our President and leader of this great nation.
Fairweather friends be darned.
Amazing how selfish, myopic and stupid people really are after the age of 70. Magnanimity is not a characteristic of the aged.
And who can forget this:
