Some of America’s top public health officials urged President Donald Trump to extend social distancing guidelines that are aimed at slowing the spread of the CCP virus. On Sunday, Trump extended the guidelines, originally issued on March 16 for two weeks, to April 30.
“We felt that if we prematurely pulled back, we would only form an acceleration or rebound of something, which would put you behind where you were before, and that’s a reason why we argued strongly with the president that he not withdraw those guidelines,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said during an appearance on Monday on CNN’s “New Day.”
