华盛顿—特朗普总统周日表示,希望该国在复活节之前结束其封锁禁令的希望,这将在两周内庆祝。他说,针对冠状病毒大流行的强化措施将持续到4月底。
特朗普说:“该模型估计死亡率可能在两周内达到峰值。”他引用了该病如何在美国传播的流行病学模型。“因此,我们会将准则延长至4月30日,以减缓传播速度。”
总统补充说,周二,他的政府将就正在进行的与该疾病的斗争公开“我们的发现摘要,支持的数据和策略”。
特朗普在玫瑰园举行的每日冠状病毒特别工作组简报会上宣布了这项新政策,该简报会在该国首都的春季晚会令人愉快。特朗普说:“没有什么比赢得胜利之前宣布胜利还要糟糕。” 就在上周,他表示对疾病控制与预防中心建议的15天减慢传播指南表示不耐烦。

这些准则要求美国人在家工作,避免社交情况以及不必要的旅行。尽管公共卫生官员认为有必要在未来两三个月内采取此类措施,但总统的一些顾问以及总统本人仍对3.28亿人处于禁闭状态的经济后果感到担忧。
在上周接受福克斯新闻采访时,特朗普担心冠状病毒的反应可能比冠状病毒本身更具危害性,迄今为止,该病毒已经杀死了约2,000名美国人。他说: “我很想让这个国家开放,只想在复活节之前去。”
复活节于今年4月12日举行。
但是特朗普现在似乎正在接受像美国国家过敏和传染病研究所所长安东尼·福西博士这样的专家的建议,他对加速的时间表表示怀疑。
特朗普认为这些措施可能持续到五月的可能性。“我们预计到6月1日,我们将步入复苏之路,我们认为到6月1日。” 他发誓,通过适当的集体努力,“整个噩梦将很快结束”。

Trump to extend coronavirus distancing guidelines until April 30
WASHINGTON — Abandoning his hope that the country could end its lockdown restrictions by Easter, which will be celebrated in two weeks, President Trump said on Sunday that intensive measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic would continue until the end of April.
“The modeling estimates that the peak in death rate is likely to hit in two weeks,” Trump said, referencing epidemiological models of how the disease will spread across the United States. “Therefore, we will be extending our guidelines to April 30, to slow the spread.”
The president added that on Tuesday, his administration would make public “a summary of our findings, supporting data and strategy” regarding the ongoing battle against the disease.
Trump announced the new policy at the daily coronavirus task force briefing, which was held in the Rose Garden on what turned out to be a pleasant spring evening in the nation’s capital. “Nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is won,” Trump said. As recently as last week, he signalled his impatience with the 15 Days to Slow the Spread guidelines that had been recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Those guidelines call for Americans to work from home and avoid social situations, as well as unnecessary travel. While public health officials believe it is necessary to keep such measures in place for the next two or three months, some of the president’s advisers — and the president himself — worry about the economic effects of 328 million people living in lockdown.
In an interview with Fox News last week, Trump worried that the coronavirus response could be more harmful than the coronavirus itself, which has so far killed about 2,000 Americans. “I would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter,” he said.
Easter falls on April 12 this year.
But Trump now appears to be taking the advice of experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who has expressed skepticism about the accelerated timeline.
Trump held out the possibility that those measures could continue into May. “We can expect that by June 1st, we will be well on our way to recovery, we think by June 1st.” He vowed that with the appropriate collective effort, “this whole nightmare will end” soon enough.
