“The system that the federal government has put in place is not working, plain and simple. It's not adequate.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says a military leader needs to be in charge of fixing the supply shortage during the coronavirus pandemic.
The high number of coronavirus-related deaths across the United Kingdom is"likely to continue" over the course of the next two weeks, the national medical director for England's National Health Service, Stephen Powis, said Saturday.
"Unfortunately, and with great sadness, the number of deaths continues to be high…that is likely to continue over the next week or two until we get on top and stop this virus," Powis told reporters during a press briefing at Downing Street. "I do think, sadly, that we will continue to see those high numbers of deaths that we have seen at the moment."
Powis urged members of the public to not be complacent, and to continue to follow the guidance and instructions issued by the government. "Hospitalizations are still going up, so this is not the time to be complacent and to take our foot off the pedal. We need to continue to comply with those instructions, because that will translate, in the next week or two, into a reduction in hospital admissions," Powis urged.
"As we start to get control of this through social distancing, in a few weeks that will start to fall," he added.
