As mentioned earlier in the week, the next step for governments is to manage expectations surrounding the virus outbreak and easing of lockdown measures.

A flattening in the curve and change in the virus trajectory is good and will get people anxious to want to leave their homes and return back to normalcy, but if the restrictions are lifted too soon then there is going to be the risk of a secondary outbreak.

I wouldn’t take to heart his timing on the virus peak. The virus spread will play itself out over time as lockdown measures are in place, and the government response has to match that – not the other way around.
