With health experts warning that warmer months won't bring an end to coronavirus, officials are developing a framework for what America's new normal could look like.
President Trump has previously claimed that increased temperatures will bring an end to the virus. But members of a National Academy of Sciences committee said in a letter to the White House Tuesday that the data is mixed on if the virus spreads less easily in the heat, however that might not matter much given the lack of immunity. With more than 432,000 cases and 14,817 deaths, the nation has already had to adjust to a world where social distancing is key to reducing the impact of coronavirus.
Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday that he was briefed that Philadelphia is"an area of particular concern.""Our message to the people of the Philadelphia area is now more than ever, practice the social distancing so that Philadelphia and to some extent even Pittsburgh do not have to endure what other communities before them have had to endure," Pence said.
