Surgeon General Jerome Adams said on Wednesday that the Trump
administration’s recommendation to practice social distancing for the
next 15 days is “likely not enough time” to halt the spread of the
coronavirus in the US.
“Fifteen days is likely not going to be enough to get us all the way
through,” Adams said in an interview on NBC’s “Today.”
But he did emphasize the importance of social distancing over the coming
weeks to “flatten the curve” — or slow the spread of the virus in order
to reduce the pressure on the health care system.
“We really need to lean into it now so that we can bend the curve in the
next 15 days, and at that point, we’ll reassess,” he said. “If we can
get America to pitch in for the next 15 days, we can flatten the curve.”
On Tuesday, Adams told CBS Evening News that the next 15 days will be a
“critical inflection point” for slowing the spread — and that he would
“not fault” any state or local leaders for ordering people to “shelter
in place.”
In a report made public Monday, the US Department of Health and Human
Services stated that the pandemic could last 18 months “or longer and
could include multiple waves of illness.”
Meanwhile, Imperial College London also released a report Monday stating
that as many as 2.2 million Americans and 700,000 Britons could die if
drastic steps are not taken to contain the outbreak.
