From the story: Speaking at a contentious White House coronavirus news
briefing on Sunday that involved testy standoffs with multiple
reporters, President Trump declared that “the peak in death
rate” in the coronavirus pandemic “is likely to hit in two weeks,” and said the
federal government will be extending its social-distancing guidelines through
April 30 (Fox News).
From another story: In a recent

and economic casualties. They include mounting a large-scale contact tracing

The United States has
a low rate of death compared to many other countries (Twitter).
Some people are throwing
coronavirus parties, and police are arresting participants (Red State).
At the same time, they are
seeing progress in Seattle (NY Times).
