However, since COVID-19 can't be prevented or treated, and since people are contagious before they show symptoms that other 20% would be a big number without social distancing measures.
This is a direct quote from Trump's March 30 briefing: "Appreciate you being here. Yesterday I announced that we would be extending our social distance guidelines through the end of April. This is based on modeling that show us the peak in fatalities will not arrive for another two weeks. The same modeling also shows that by very vigorously following these guidelines, we could save more than 1 million American lives. Think of that, 1 million American lives." [
