Hopeful signs of Coronavirus slowing

Yahoo:
The Trump administration said Sunday that it was “beginning to see the glimmers of progress” in the fight to slow the spread of the coronavirus in the United States and across the globe.

“We are beginning to see the glimmers of progress,” Vice President Mike Pence said during a hastily called briefing of the White House coronavirus task force, adding, “The experts will tell me not to jump to any conclusions, and I’m not.”

Pence said that he had spoken to governors from states across the country and that data was starting to indicate that the rise in the number of new cases of COVID-19 was starting to slow. “If that holds, if that’s happening it’s because of what all of you are doing,” Pence said, referring to Americans’ compliance with social distancing guidelines.

Dr. Deborah Birx, a leading expert in infectious disease on the task force, said that there were encouraging signs in Spain and Italy, two countries hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.

“As you can see from the hopeful signs in Italy and Spain — where we see, finally, new cases and deaths declining — it’s giving us hope of what our future could be,” Birx said.

It may be too early to call this light at the end of the tunnel but it is a hopeful trend.  The experts are still insisting that we continue social distancing.
