Fauci: 'got to brace ourselves' for virus toll

President Donald Trump is formally releasing his 30-day guidelines for battling the coronavirus.

"I know it's stressful to follow the guidelines, but it is more stressful and more difficult to the soldiers on the front line," said Dr. Deborah Birx of the White House coronavirus task force.

The guidelines are similar to the administration's earlier advice that aimed to slow the spread of the virus in two weeks. The president, however, recently announced that he was going to extend the guidelines for another 30 days, giving up his hope to reopen the national economy by Easter.

The guidelines call for continued social distancing, staying at home if sick and calling your doctor. People are also urged to refrain from going to restaurants and bars, utilize delivery and takeout food options and protect the elderly, although young people are at risk too.
