We explained why we are extending nationwide guidelines to slow the spread for 30 days. We have the power to save countless lives. We are attacking the virus on every front with social distancing, economic support for workers, rapid medical intervention and very serious innovation, and banning dangerous foreign travel that threatens the health of our people.
