President Donald Trump, in an interview Monday with “Fox & Friends,” said that the CCP virus cases will likely peak “around Easter” and defended the White House’s social distancing guidelines, saying they would last until the end of April.

“We’re doing a lot of things and we don’t want to [reduce the restrictions] too soon,” Trump said. “Around Easter, that’s going to be the highest point, we think.”
