Meanwhile, as florida saw more than 15,000 cases on sunday alone, some areas, like new york city and d. C. , are getting good news. We have gone four days with no lives lost. Reporter dr. Fauci said the u. S. Is seeing a spike in cases because it never fully shut down. In good news, he said he is cautiously optimistic there will be at least one vaccine by the end of the year. Lauren blanchard, fox news. And dr. Fauci today took part in a virtual fireside chat hosted by stanford university. He had blunt warnings about the spread of the coronavirus and said in the absence of a safe and effective vaccine, the best way to slow the virus is to keep people wait separated. And he attributed the current surge in cases to the United States not doing a complete shutdown. We started to come down, and then we plateaued at a level that was really quite high, about 20,000 infections a day. Then as we started to reopen, were seeing the surges that were seen today as we speak, in california, your own state. In arizona, in texas, in florida, and several other states. Dr. Fauci says we dont need a prolonged shut down period, but that states should draw back and shut down, and then ghali reopen under the phases already set by the health experts. Joining us now to talk more about what is going on with coronavirus across the country is dr. Singh, former chief medical officer with they are department of health and human services. Doctor, always a pleasure to have you on. Do you agree with dr. Fauci that a full nationwide shutdown needs to happen at this stage of things . Well, good afternoon, heather. Great to be with you again. You know, what dr. Fauci is really referring to is we need to respond on a county by county or city by city basis, based on the number of cases, hospitalizations, and ultimately mortalities. So its really looking at the data and patterns and trends that come from that. So california is obviously rolling back some of the reopenings. We mentioned it earlier in the show. Do you think those are good steps to be taken right now, to or do you think that the state should go even further . Well, look, right now, this is the big step, and for some businesses, obviously they feel like its a step backwards, but this is also the governor and the California Department of health responding to the increasing cases that have been seen, certainly amongst those between 20 and 30 years old, then l. A. County, and its a confluence of really factors that play into this. One big thing is that we are testing bigtime now, 100,000 plus cases a day, which is huge, in terms of the number of tests, compared to april, but also weve had the peaceful protests. Weve had people out there. Theres also a sense when youre reopening that we expected that the slowing down of the viral transmission that we did early on, during the shelter and lockdown is now slowly being reversed somebody so the expectation is between those increased testing, and more people coming in contact with each other, perhaps even getting lax with the precautions that are so important, including physical distancing, and the reopening that we would be seeing some of these cases, and this is really to preempt it. Yeah. I want to talk just about the overall challenge here, because we heard dr. Fauci today when he was speaking with the officials there at stanford. He said that this has been one of the most challenging of diseases that he has worked on, even more so than hiv, and that it is unprecedented. Talk about, you know, the problems, the challenge posed by covid19, and how they are different from other diseases that weve seen in the past. Well, look, it was great to have one of the most respected and world renounced Public Health leaders, who i had the pleasure of meeting once, come to the Stanford School of med skin and to hear him talk about this in the context of his great experience in hiv, and of the great work that werent on for that in the 80s. One of the things i would point out is that it is only six monthsing into the covid19 virus that we have really begun to understand it. Sometimes its time itself that will give us better answers. One of the things that dr. Fauci said at the end of the virtual town hall was that it will be interesting to see just how much immunity we get, even from the natural infection from covid19, and how long that immunity is, how durable it is, but also how much will a vaccine provide us immunity. Will it be short term . Will it require boosters . And the other thing that he really pointed out, too, was the manifestations of the disease. We know that it has showcased itself and some people can be asymptomatic, very mild, but others having acute respiratory distress issues, and some people even clotting and causing other problems and certainly in some kids, very rarely, seeing these dacalike diseases. So kawasakilike diseases. So we have a lot to learn, but we have learned a lot has proba lot to observe compared 1980s. Yeah, obviously, you know, i think youre right with what youre saying there. So much that weve learned in the short amount of time, and still a lot more to learn as well. Doctor, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Always great to be here. Thank you.
