As the projected deadliest stretch of the CCP virus outbreak in the United States nears, the White House wants Americans to brace for weeks of grim news ahead, to know that mitigation efforts are working, and to unite as a nation to follow the government’s social distancing guidelines for 30 more days.
Based on the best-case projection with full mitigation measures in place, as many as 240,000 people may die from the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, before the outbreak is extinguished, according to models used by the White House.
