The next few months will be hard. We'll get through this. Ultimately we'll have a treatment or vaccine to vanquish #coronavirus. But we must implement tough mitigation steps in areas of outbreak to prevent a wider epidemic. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/transcript-scott-gottlieb-on-face-the-nation-march-8-2020/ … We updated our data on total #coronavirus testing capacity in U.S. Remember, our figures for total capacity do not reflect the actual number of tests being performed, but the number of patients who could potentially be screened daily if every lab were testing at maximum capacity We’ll get through this. It’ll end. We have two hard months ahead of us. We need to sacrifice some of the trappings of normal life to reduce the scope and severity of what’s ahead. We must protect the vulnerable. We must act collectively in common interest. We must work together. Governments across the U.S. need to follow the lead of the business community and impose tougher restrictions in order to stop spread of the #coronavirus 2 comments share 2 comments share save hide report block hide child comments Comments (2) sorted by: top new old worst ▲ 4 ▼ – catbertz 4 points 1 year ago +4 / -0 Key point he made, lots of big businesses were already banning travel overseas, so for the left to scream about Trump's" overreaction" is bs.
