I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones. Together we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it.

As it really gets - this will be probably the toughest week between this week and next week. And there'll be a lot of death, unfortunately, but a lot less death than if this wasn't done. But there will be death.

We're working to ensure that the supplies are delivered where and when they're needed, and in some cases, we're telling governors we can't go there because we don't think you need it and we think someplace else needs it. And pretty much, so far, we've been right about that. And we'll continue to do it.

I just want to reiterate, because a lot of people have been asking, well, what would have happened if we did nothing? Did nothing, we just rode it out, and I've been asking that question to Tony and Deborah, and they've been talking to me about it for a long time, other people have been asking that question, and I think we got our most accurate study today, or certainly most comprehensive. Think of the number, potentially, 2.2 million people if we did nothing.

My administration has done a job on really working across government and with the private sector, and it's been incredible. It's a beautiful thing to watch, I have to say. Unfortunately, the end result of the group we're fighting - which are hundreds of billions and trillions of germs, or whatever you want to call them - they are bad news. This virus is bad news and it moves quickly, and it spreads as easily as anything anyone has ever seen.

I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they're going to be, I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. ou go into major hospitals sometimes, and they'll have two ventilators.
