Could die from the coronavirus this summer partly because of a lack of social distancing. And now Vice President mike pence is under fire after tweeting a now deleted picture showing Campaign Staffers huddled together violating cdc guidelines. Earlier i spoke with dr. Imran ali. I asked him about the rise of cases across several states and about that harvard doctors prediction. Good morning, dr. Ali. Thank you for joining us. Lets talk about an alarming new warning from a harvard doctor who says we could see 100,000 more lives lost by the end of the summer due to a lack of social distancing and other precautions not being taken. What are your thoughts on that number . I think that number of 100,000, 200,000 by september is likely possible because now people are having a lot of fatigue of social distancing and being trapped in their homes, and we can see that by memorial day weekend and how people, you know, they were out and about and some of them did not adhere to the social distancing, and by some estimates the cdc actually states that by the end of this month, we could see anywhere between 118,000 to 143,000 deaths just in the month of june. And speaking of rising cases, were seeing cases increase in 20 states with deaths rising in 14. You mentioned arizona is a big concern. Some doctors saying that theyre alarmed by the situation there and hospitalizations in texas just peaked for a third consecutive day. What is your take on where this is headed . Every state is in a different phase of the pandemic, so, remember, you know, new york was hit first. Washington state was hit first. So everybody is in a different state. Thats why we need to look at areas individually, and we need to have contact tracing. Were not anywhere near the end of the pandemic. And its really worrisome now as we go into the fall season in september october, we may also have to deal with flu as well as covid. Dr. Ali, lets move to the race for a vaccine. Were hearing about phase three trials this summer which sounds very encouraging. Tell us what phase three means in terms of a time line for a cure. Phase three is the final part of the trial before the vaccine is licensed and mass produced for everybody to use. So it looks at safety, but it also looks to see if the vaccine actually works. Some estimates say that we will have some idea of the effectiveness by december. But its still too early to tell. So when it comes to wearing a mask, consider this story from a salon in missouri where two stylists tested positive for covid19. They potentially exposed 140 customers, but none of the customers got infected. Each stylist wore a mask. Dr. Ali says you should plan on wearing a mask for at least another year.
