- March 24 coronavirus update: As of Tuesday morning, there have been more than 46,000 cases of the novel coronavirus confirmed in the US, along with almost 600 deaths.
- And even though the World Health Organization thinks the US could soon become the epicenter of the pandemic, President Trump insisted on Monday that he wanted to reopen US businesses again soon.
- Health experts warned about this tendency to reverse course too soon, and one reason why is because today’s numbers don’t reflect today’s reality.

President Trump sent everyone’s head spinning at a news conference yesterday in which he insisted that he would press for businesses to reopen soon, the coronavirus-related quarantines and shutdowns to end, and the US economy to start getting back to normal. “Our country was not built to be shut down,” Trump said. “We are going to be opening up our country for business because our country was meant to be open.”
Not only does this fly in the face of pretty much universal warnings from health experts who stress that the deadly virus is nowhere close to having run its course in the US yet, but this is also exactly what many experts warned about during the early days of the fight against the virus — that it would be tempting to want to react to coronavirus-related shutdowns early, even though what you see today doesn’t reflect the conditions of today.
