Trump: The next two weeks will be very painful

US President Trump said at a White House conference on March 31 that the United States is undergoing unprecedented tests. "The peak of the epidemic is coming, and it is ferocious." The next two weeks will be very painful. He also emphasized that adherence to the epidemic prevention guidelines is "a matter of life and death."

Deborah Birx, a member of the White House response team, demonstrated the model of the outbreak at the conference. Models show that in the case of management intervention on the epidemic, the death rate of new crowns in the United States may reach 100,000 to 240,000, and if not controlled, the death cases may reach 1.5 to 2.2 million.
