Tuesday, 07 Apr 2020 09:47 PM MYTWASHINGTON, April 7 — Two senior US health officials have said they now believe the coronavirus outbreak may kill fewer Americans than some recent projections, pointing to tentative signs that the death toll was starting to level off in New York and other hot spots.
Adams on Tuesday told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that he was encouraged by recent data showing a possible “flattening” of the outbreak in some areas, referring to the shape of the curve when deaths are shown on a graph. The governors of New York, New Jersey and Louisiana pointed to tentative signs yesterday that the coronavirus outbreak may be starting to plateau but warned against complacency.
Redfield yesterday told KVOI radio in Tucson, Arizona, that social distancing of the type ordered by nearly all state governors was effective. The pandemic has upended daily life around the globe, killing more than 74,000 people and infecting at least 1.3 million.
