Surgeon General Jerome Adams warns people to brace for 'the hardest and the saddest week of most Americans’ lives,' calling the coronavirus pandemic 'our Pearl Harbor moment, our 9/11 moment, only it’s not going to be localized.'
U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams speaks about the coronavirus in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House, Friday, April 3, 2020, in Washington.
WASHINGTON — Surgeon General Jerome Adams offered some of the starkest warnings yet Sunday as he braced Americans for the worsening fallout from the new, warning “this is going to be the hardest and the saddest week of most Americans’ lives, quite frankly.” Much of the country is under orders to stay home, and federal officials said that have seen signs that people are listening to the message about social distancing. But the Trump administration also is also emphasizing that the worst is yet to come for many communities.
For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.
