The pandemic’s effects on American life could extend much longer than initially thought.
Surgeon General Jerome Adams acknowledged Wednesday that the Trump administration's recommendation that Americans practice preventative measures for 15 days is"likely not going to be enough" time to successfully halt the spread of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States.
The concession from the surgeon general comes after the administration announced a slate of new guidelines Monday intended to blunt the disease's rapid rate of transmission in the U.S., where positive cases have now been reported in all 50 states and more than 100 people have died as a result of the virus.
But scientific studies and even senior administration officials have suggested in recent days that the coronavirus' effects on American life could extend much longer than initially thought and bring about a remarkable loss in human life. Another report compiled by British researchers and released Monday estimated that as many as 2.2 million people in the U.S. could die from coronavirus if drastic steps were not taken to fight its spread. The dire findings appear to have influenced the administration's latest recommendations.
