Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic In The U.S. -- News Updates March 29 - 30, 2020



Daily Mail: Donald Trump extends coronavirus lockdown until April 30 and says the pandemic will peak in TWO WEEKS – but insists he never threatened to quarantine New York and his Easter deadline was just an 'aspiration'

* Donald Trump said Sunday that the administration is extending the coronavirus guidelines, originally imposed for 15 days, until April 30 – a 30 day extension
* He admitted that his Easter deadline for the country to be up and running was just an 'aspiration'
* The president also said that it's likely the fast-spreading respiratory virus will peak in two weeks, which is right around Easter
* 'The modeling estimates that the peak is likely to hit in two weeks,' he said during his daily coronavirus task force briefing at the White House on Sunday

Donald Trump said Sunday the administration's coronavirus task force's 15-day plan to reduce the spread of the disease is being extended 30 days, which is weeks past his Easter deadline.

He also claimed during his daily press briefing at the White House Sunday evening that the peak of coronavirus is expected to hit in two weeks, even though the death toll in the U.S. doubled from 1,000 to 2,000 in just one day.
