    “Gov. Asa Hutchinson said during Sunday’s (April 5) press conference that although the one-day increase is troubling, it remains below the 2,000 cases the state initially estimated would be in the state by April 5. He said the state is below the expected trend because social distancing and other guidelines are working.”

    It was thought that by April 4 we would have 165,000 in hospitals but we only had roughly 20,000. Bill Gates says that the computer model is off.

    • Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates called the coronavirus pandemic a “nightmare scenario.”
    • However, he predicted that the U.S. could see less than 100,000 to 240,000 deaths from COVID-19 before the outbreak is under control.
    • Gates said if people continue practicing safe social distancing and remain in quarantine, cases should begin leveling off toward the end of this month.
