In the USA nationwide quarantine still to be announced. Instead, the White house published guidelines for Americans in a pandemic. Their essence consists in isolation of the elderly and those who have chronic illness, people with symptoms of cold and quarantine of houses where found infected with the coronavirus.
it is Planned that with these measures the spread of the virus can be slowed down within 30 days.
As stated at the briefing Director of the National Institute of allergic and infectious diseases of the United States ENTOneither Fauci, for those days during which measures were taken to curb the spread of infection, United States “clearly got the result, even though it is difficult to calculate quantitatively.” In this regard, “we need not to reduce the speed and do not stop,” he said, urging Americans to continue to comply with sanitary restrictions.
According to Fauci, the authorities expect a “peak… during the next two weeks” and take all necessary actions so that the number of casualties was “much lower.” “This is what we should expect, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to agree with the numbers,” added Fauci.
In the United States in connection with the spread of the novel coronavirus is almost entirely depleted stocks of personal protective equipment (PPE), which has national strategic reserve.

Outlook: worst case scenario – up to 240 thousand dead by the summer
As has been warned by scientists in the US was lost time – too long the government has not taken tough measures to slow the spread of coronavirus.
two weeks ago, when the numbers infected in the United States were not so frightening, the newspaper the New York Times wrote that in the US a new type of coronavirus can die up to 1.7 million Americans. This is the worst case scenario. If bUdut restrictive measures were adopted, the number of deaths could be reduced to 150-200 thousand.
These figures were given to the employees of the Centers for control and prevention of diseases of the USA and experts on epidemic diseases from different universities, modeled several scenarios, based on the characteristics of the virus, its rate of spread and how serious would the government have introduced restrictive measures.
According to these projections, during the year, the coronavirus can be infected in the United States to 214 million people. 21 million of them will need to be hospitalized, which will undermine the national health system. In the US there are only 925 thousand equipped hospital beds and of these only about 90 thousand intended for patients in critical condition.
However, at the moment introduced a state of emergency has somewhat changed these forecasts in a better way. And now the potential number of deaths from the coronavirus in the United States can vary widely, but approximately 240 thousand dead by the summer of 2020.
According to research by the Medical school of Washington University, the pandemic may subside in early June. But since at this point, the number of hospitalized patients has long been peaking at the national level, many of the infected will continue to die and in June and July.
For example, in California, the virus is spreading more slowly. This means that the peak of infections and deaths there will be in April, and therefore quarantine measures have to renew in this state.
