"I watched as doctors and nurses went into a certain hospital in Elmhurst this morning. I know Elmhurst -- Queens, that’s -- I grew up right next to it. I know the hospital very well. I've been seeing it all my life, my young life," the president said. He described seeing the"scenes" of truck trailers that are being used as freezers for bodies of patients who have died from coronavirus.
Birx emphasized that without mitigation efforts, between 1.5 million and 2.2 million people in the U.S. would die. Even with social distancing, models show"100 to 200,000 deaths, which is still way too much," Birx acknowledged. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert and a key member of the coronavirus task force, urged Americans not to take their foot off the accelerator with regards to mitigation efforts like social distancing and staying home.
Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator, speaks about the coronavirus in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House, March 31, 2020, in Washington.Fauci said they have seen"inklings" of fewer cases per day in New York but said Americans should brace themselves to continue to see deaths rise because of the timeline of the virus and know that mitigation efforts are still working.
"We gotta brace ourselves: in the next several days to a week or so, we're going to continue to see things go up. We cannot be discouraged by that. Because the mitigation is actually working, and will work," he said. On wearing masks, Trump said,"if people want to do it, there's certainly no harm to it," before suggesting people"use a scarf" so that medical masks can go to hospitals.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks about the coronavirus in the James Brady Briefing Room in Washington, March 24, 2020. "If, in fact, a person who may or may not be infected wants to prevent infecting somebody else, one of the best ways to do that is with a mask, so perhaps that's the best way to go," Fauci told CNN."That's under very active consideration. We'll be discussing it today, this afternoon, at the task force meeting.

But we’re getting ready -- and in some cases we are ready," Pelosi said on a call with reporters.She also said she wants to see an increase in aid for states and include another round of direct cash payments in the next package.
