In a task force briefing, the White House offered the first look at the statistical models being used to anticipate how the virus could spread across the U.S.
"I want every American to be prepared for the tough days ahead," Trump said Tuesday during the White House's coronavirus task force briefing."This is going to be a very, very painful two weeks."
If other states can maintain similar measures, it may be possible to avoid the surge in new cases and deaths that is being seen in New York, New Jersey and parts of Louisiana. Part of the reason projections tend to vary is that they inherently rely on assumptions. They might assume, for example, that everyone in each state will follow social distancing orders.
Still, some researchers saw glimmers of hope in the stark projections, particularly because communities have the opportunity to change the outcome by being vigilant about social distancing. However, the measures can be challenging to enforce, because the outcomes are not immediately apparent, said Efraín E. Rivera Serrano, a research associate in virology and cell biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
