At a coronavirus task force briefing on Sunday, President Trump announced the social distancing guidelines aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus will be extended to April 30th.
"We will be extending our guidelines to April 30th to slow the spread," Trump said Sunday in the Rose Garden.
The extension was announced after the president said the peak death rate in the United States for the coronavirus is expected to hit in two weeks, according to models of the virus.
"Nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is won," Trump said. "That would be the greatest loss of all. Therefore, the next two weeks and during this period, it's very important that everyone strongly follow the guidelines."
President Trump encouraged Americans to "strongly follow the guidelines" on social distancing, adding, "The better you do, the faster this whole nightmare will end."
Trump had previously stated a goal of opening the country up by Easter, April 12th. When asked about the Easter timeline by a reporter on Sunday, Trump said the goal was "just an aspiration," but one that had to be extended based on the incoming data.
The president said the administration's latest plans a summary of the taskforce's findings will be announced on Tuesday.

How many people will be out of work and how many businesses will be closed for good by then?
People can’t go for 6 weeks without work.
And how many more stimulus packages will get passed in 4 more weeks?
It's a communist power grab. They've said since the 1870's that free enterprise must be ripped up by the roots and society burned down to build their utopia.
It's happening.
I have a job right now but I’m wondering if I’ll have one by the time things normalize. I have emergency savings, investments, etc. but that can only allow one to hold on for so long in a real bad economy.
Absolute crap.
“The extension was announced after the president said the peak death rate in the United States for the coronavirus is expected to hit in two weeks, according to models of the virus.”
What models is the White House basing this on? It’s a fair question to ask considering so many different models and estimations are being put out there. It’s getting rather tiring trying to figure out who’s the most accurate in their predictions.

I believe they are not getting the results/numbers they expected in this past two weeks of SD. The dire predictions from Fauci today, are telling.
The natives are going to get real restless AND THEY SHOULD.
It is, right before our eyes.
Again New York crashes the planet.
The world Wide war on terror now COVID.
The suicides from financial ruin are going to out pace COVID deaths.
No one goes in. No one comes out.
No visitors. No deliveries.
What do you think they’re eatin’, Ray?

Yeah, two weeks, BS. We’ve been hearing “two weeks” every day for how long? Oh, I know, TWO WEEKS!
And we’ll be hearing it for who knows how many more weeks.
Fools. Our leaders are fools.
I last went to New York Chitty ten years ago. I’m never going back.
Except those were real problems, not a response to the common cold.
Yes, it was. I thought it was mentioned that they were doing studies using 1000 people and the President also mentioned using plasma.
POTUS is politically boxed in with numbers rising in NYC. Nature is working it’s course and we should be over the Wu Flu hump by May.
