I agree that the expert spoke a bit too soon. Perhaps he would want to retract his article.
I would say, ask the Italians and the Spaniards and now the Governors of NY and NJ. The virus is creating havoc in these states. Already over 9000 dead across the US. Just take a look at this chart and click on the now button and yesterday to click previous day's numbers. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ [http://www.worldometers.info/img/worldometers-fb.jpg]<https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/> United States Coronavirus: 214,253 Cases and 4,841 Deaths - Worldometer<https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/> Death of a 6-week-old newborn in Connecticut, in the Hartford area [] "This is a virus that attacks our most fragile without mercy.
