"We are not out of the woods by any means but at least we've reached a stable number of new infections and the number of people who are dying," Inglesby said. That prediction is likely too optimistic, Inglesby told Wallace, as different areas in the country are in different stages of finding new cases that are too unpredictable for a widespread reopening by late May.
