There are sign the outbreak 'not only has flattened, it's starting to turn the corner'. FMTNews Virus
WASHINGTON: The United States may be ready to start gradually reopening next month, the government’s top infectious diseases expert said Sunday, as signs grew that the coronavirus pandemic is peaking.
Anthony Fauci, the veteran pandemic expert who has quietly sought action to stem infections, said in a televised interview that parts of the country could begin easing restrictions next month — but was cautious. Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, said it was premature to say that the country would reopen on May 1.
“I fear if we open up too early and we have not sufficiently made that health recovery and cracked the back of this virus, that we could be pouring gasoline on the fire, even inadvertently,” New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, a Democrat, told CNN. Fauci said he was “cautiously optimistic” as admissions into hospitals and intensive care had begun to decline even in worst-hit New York.The United States, which has 4.25% of the world’s population, accounts for almost a fifth of the world’s nearly 110,000 deaths from Covid-19 since the disease first emerged in China late last year.
