Bowser says D.C.'s peak in infections could come at the end of June or start of July.

At peak, D.C. will need some 5,600 hospital beds. On a normal day, it has roughly 2,500. Bowser says elective surgeries will be delayed, shuttered facilities will be opened, sites outside of hospitals will be found, etc., to find additional bed space.

"If you're feeling ill, stay home. Isolate yourself," says Bowser.

So there's many questions coming about why D.C. has chosen a model that is significantly more severe than one that has been widely circulated which has the city's peak in mid-April and fewer deaths. In short, city officials say it overestimates the value of social distancing.

"I don’t think what we’ve seen suggests we’ll open schools on April 27," says Bowser. "I can say we’re not going to open on April 27."
