Pentagon Expects The Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic To Last Three To Four Months

Daily Mail: Chairman of the joint chiefs warns coronavirus will NOT be over by Easter warning military is planning for up to four MONTHS of crisis - unlike his boss Donald Trump

* The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley anticipated the coronavirus crisis to last three months, he said at the Pentagon Tuesday
* President Trump said during a Fox News Channel interview in the Rose Garden Tuesday that he'd like to see America reopened for business by Easter, April 12
* Defense Secretary Mark Esper also talked of a longer timeline, saying that he thought coronavirus would be a problem for an eight to 10-week period

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley anticipated the coronavirus crisis could last another three months - stretching until almost the Fourth of July, instead of Easter, which President Trump referenced Tuesday.

'You're looking at eight to 10, maybe 12 weeks, something like that, call it three months,' Milley said at the Pentagon Tuesday, according to Fox News. 'Some of it depends on what we do as a nation to mitigate it, to flatten the curve so to speak. But we, the United States military, we're going to do this as long as the mission takes.'

During a Fox News Channel interview in the Rose Garden, Trump had said he'd like the American economy back online by Easter Sunday, April 12.
