Dr. Deborah Birx said Saturday that Americans should especially focus on social distancing guidelines in the next two weeks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“This is the moment to not be going to the grocery store, not going to the pharmacy, but doing everything you can to keep your family and your friends safe,” she said.
Birx noted that Pennsylvania, Colorado, and the Washington, DC, metro area were starting to have an increasing number of cases.
“We’re hoping and believing that if people mitigate strongly, the work that they did over the last two weeks will blunt that curve,” she said.
She pointed to really bad hotspots in New Jersey and New York, where cases of the virus and deaths were still going up.
“The next two weeks are extraordinarily important,” she said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci also said three or four hotspots were continuing to rise, but that certain areas could flatten the curve by social distancing.
“Just make sure everybody does the at least minimal amount of that physical separation, because the virus has no place to go if you’re physically separating,” Fauci said.

Went to Aldi today; no paper products except a pallet of paper towels with no price, next to an empty pallet marked $11.99, which would be way more than I would pay for anything but a 12 pack of super dooper giant rolls. No FLOUR. People must be making their own bread? But they had plenty of bread. Really low stocked on canned vegetables, too.
Signs everywhere telling you “six feet!”
People wearing masks.
Plexiglas shields at the checkstands, and you have to hold out your membership card for them to scan.
No order dividers at the checkstands (plastic, dontchaknow).
Then they scotch tape your receipt on the front of the cart, and the exit “greeters” check your receipt from 12 feet away.
Oh, and no TP or nitrile gloves.
Her comment is the stupidest one I’ve heard so far. Is she related to Joe Biden?
Those two idiots have been infected with a stupid virus. They need a couple of barroom drinks.
People are going to get food if they need it.
Do not go to the grocery but ride the subway in the most infected city in America. Does not compute.
It moved further into the future because we are successfully flattening the curve, which has the effect of lengthening our time of misery.
But you won’t die of the virus.
