President Trump on Saturday warned that the United States is approaching what could be the country’s roughest stretch yet amid the escalating coronavirus outbreak while saying that the country can’t stay closed forever.
“This will be probably the toughest week, between this week and next week,” Mr. Trump said at the White House daily briefing on the COVID-19 outbreak. “There [will] be a lot of death, unfortunately.”
Mr. Trump spoke as the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. jumped above 300,000. There have been more than 8,200 coronavirus-related deaths in the U.S. and more than 14,500 people have recovered, according to the Johns Hopkins University tracker.
Worldwide, the number of cases is now above 1.1 million. There have been more than 64,000 deaths around the globe and more than 245,900 people have recovered, according to the JHU tracker.
Despite his dark warning, Mr. Trump also said repeatedly that the U.S. can’t stay closed forever.
“We’re going to make sure that it’s over soon, and just keep going - it’s not going to be long,” the president said.
“At a certain point, some hard decisions are going to have to be made,” Mr. Trump said. “I’ve said it from the beginning — the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said they will be keeping a close eye on the number of new cases and urged the public to continue to adhere to “social distancing” practices the government is recommending.
“As sobering and as difficult as this is, what we are doing is making a difference,” said Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

It;s just comon sense.....so far it;s BILLIONS of lost Dollars per death
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You know what’s common sense? With the country closed, we’re probably going to end up with at least 30,000 dead. If Trump took your course of action, conservatively speaking I’d say we could easily have 50,000 dead. But let’s leave it at the 30,000 number. Combine that with the attacks the media would take on Trump for not listening to Fauci, xcetera, and you would easily be looking at Joe Biden(or worse) in the White House come November.
It's Norwegian.
Big country, many different places, several different curves, some started at different times than others, new curves can be started anywhere, anytime, all it takes is one flubros who thinks he has the answer, or one Chinese lady touching everything in the store, no real difference between the two.
Welcome to the New World. Enjoy your stay.
Mr. Trump spoke as the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. jumped above 300,000. There have been more than 8,200 coronavirus-related deaths in the U.S. and more than 14,500 people have recovered, according to the Johns Hopkins University tracker.
So, 300,000 cases,8,200 deaths and 14,500 recovered,
leaves 277,300 still sick or just unaccounted for?
That’s funny.
But it stands to reason that the number of "recovered" cases will rise by virtue of the fact that the life span of this virus appears to be two weeks. So, it would be logical to assume that the number of "active" cases should only include the "new" cases that were reported in the last two weeks. Or three weeks if you want.

No one should ever lose sight of that, and it shouldn’t be called anything else, otherwise, they’re covering for them.
It’s a roller coaster that the media want to control climbing to the top.
He needs to just shut up and report only facts. He has a habit of jumping into things and altering the alternatives.
