The experts agreed that nationwide social distancing measures were urgently needed to continue to try to “flatten the curve” — slowing the rate of infection so that hospitals aren’t overrun, as the case is currently in New York.But from a scientific point of view, the pathogen could “down mutate” and become less virulent as time goes on, said Kelen, as similar viruses typically do.The heat and humidity of summer could also slow its spread, experts have said.President Donald trump accused China for not keep transparency while the number of cases were increasing.“China has total control over the WHO despite only paying $40 million a year compared to what the US has been paying which is approx $450 million a year. But the WHO has failed to make requested and needed reforms and so we will be terminating our relationship with the WHO,” said by President.
