dr. burney, i imagine you and your staff have been gathering a tremendous amount of material on asian flu. seems to me that everyone i know has talked about influenza, but i don't think anybody knows what it is. dr. burney: carl, it is one of the upper respiratory infections like a cold, only caused by the flu virus, and the difference between the asian influenza and the influenza we have been having all of these past few years is that this strain of the virus began in hong kong and spread from hong kong to the rest of the world, including the united states. carl: well, every year, influenza is a problem in our communities and i'm sure it is in yours, too. why are we also suddenly concerned about it now? dr. burney: that's a very good question. we are concerned because in the other countries in which it has appeared, and even in the outbreaks we have had so far in this country, the attack rate has been 15% to 20% of the population. and this attack rate occurs in four to six weeks. in metr

and that was when dr. birx and dr. fauci had to go to the president and say we don't think this is a good idea. there are always questions raised, and, of course, as you see, once questions are raised, dr. fauci appears at the briefing tonight. >> sanjay, and to the point about dr. fauci, he came to the briefing not only did he clearly say the opposite of what the president said about coronavirus in the fall, and by the way, in so doing, putting himself on team redfield, i suppose, but he also was quick to call out georgia directly, which as you point out, dr. birx did not do yesterday. she really dodged that question. >> she was very polite about it. i mean, she said we've provided the guidelines. we've made it as clear to understand as possible. there's still an outbreak going on. i don't know how you would social distance at a hair salon, but i guess maybe they'll get credit creative. that was the ambassador's response today. dr. fauci said i'd advise him not to do that when asked about reopening things in georgia.

dr. devi, dr. nesheiwat, dr. bose.o get something straight off my twitter before we get to other questions, because it's popping to me. i think it's a good question. "if we have deaths with normal flu, why do so many people die every year from it," dr. nesheiwat, i know the shot has something to do with it. the flu shot. >> dr. nesheiwat: well, the flu shot and vaccines for the most part help save lives. the flu vaccine has helped save thousands of lives every year. of course it's not 100% effective, but the flu can be a very serious disease for some people. especially if you have underlying medical disease. asthma, copd, a weakened immune system, if you're a smoker. and it can affect some people who have no health problems, as well. we can't control everything and prevent every disease and virus in this country, but we can at least take precautions. keep your hands washed and clean, don't rub your eyes, don't rub your nose, get your vaccine. if you are sick, dr. doctor, because we have medications. that's part of natu

we know dr. fauci has publicly expressed the fact there's not yet conclusive evidence to back the use of this drug in cases of coronavirus patients. so we can only assume that he's making the same case in private with the president. there's that reporting indicating he the got into an argument with peter navorro over this very drug. it's telling that the president wouldn't let dr. fauci speak. he said i'm just using common sense. yet he won't let dr. fauci speak to the merits or dismerits of this drug. >> you did an excellent job as usual. let's go back to john king. have you ever seen the president shut up the top infectious disease doctor in the coup try the way he did with dr. fauci tonight? >> after inviting that person to your briefing, you'll notice dr. fauci was sitting off to the side. he had less of a role than he had in the past. the president was not happy when he was on television saying we are still struggling to get ahead of this virus. dr. fauci was being honest. but he's a straigh

dr kahn so i understand what dr phil is saying that the mask n.p.p. or important because you you are coming in close contact with someone that has coronavirus that people are showing up at health care centers that you don't know whether or not they're infected so does that mean that staff that maybe don't necessarily wear people should be wearing p.p. should everybody in the hospital with all possible be wearing it. yes so in england we are now treating every patient. as a potential coronavirus case there are different levels of p.t. particularly here in the u.k. so if you don't doing what we call them and resold generated procedures to something that doesn't force their out of the lungs and causes aerosol particles droplets convey the virus there is a lower level of the protective equipment required and that is what we would use for patients like you say you might just community who are on well and we expect them because people get on well with other things we will always see patients wary and apron globes the surgical mask that was being talked abou

dr. rick bright claims he's the victim of political retaliation and he's now filing a whistle-blower complaint. he suggests he's being punished for focusing on science rather than what he calls political connections. when asked about this, president trump said he does not know who dr. bright is. the president also tried to get the director of the cdc to walk back comments about a second wave of the virus this fall. but dr. robert redfield said he was accurately quoted. the president also said he thinks the virus might not come back at all this fall. moments later, dr. anthony fauci said the virus will definitely come back this fall. >> may not have can corona coming back. >> i'm convinced of that, we'll have it in the fall. >> the virus doesn't care whether the president thinks it's coming back in the fall. the virus will do what it will do and the president's opinion on it, frankly, doesn't matter. the latest models suggest that states should wait until june. including georgia. the gover

dr. burkes and the president was talking about where you see a flattening out of cases. and you don't see the realization of what that means until two weeks later. so right now we're seeing, as we all said correctly, this is probably going to be a really bad week. that's a renext of what happened two and a half weeks ago. so if we start seeing a flattening or a stabilization of cases, what you're hearing about potential light at the end of the tunnel doesn't take away the fact that tomorrow is going to look really bad. we have to make sure we realize we're talkialways talking abouto and a half week lag. i think a couple people asked that question. it's not incompatible. with regard to what we tell the american people, what we have been telling them all along is that the only two, but the best tool we have is mitigation. we know it worked in other countries. we're seeing how it's working here. so if we really want to make sure that we don't have these kinds of rebounds that we're worried a

dr. redfield's concern was that there would be more -- >> it may not come back at all. we will have coronavirus in the fall. i am convinced of that. >>> welcome to our viewers all around the world and in the united states. it is thursday, april 23rd. the virus is the virus. that's what dr. fauci and sanjay gupta tells us. coronavirus kills. that's what the numbers tragically tell us. fact-based public health saves lives. that's what history tells us. politics doesn't change this. politics can't change this. but there is new reporting this morning that the president is trying. the doctor in charge of the federal government's search for a vaccine says he was forced out of his job for questioning the use of hydroxychloroquine. that was the drug that the president has been hyping for weeks. dr. rick wright claims he's a victim of political retaliation and he's filing a whistle-blower complaint. he says science, not politics or cronyism, has to lead the way. now when asked about it, president

dr. rick bright, that's his name, says he's going to file a whistle-blower complaint in a statement that goes on to say this. he says, i am speaking out because to combat this deadly virus science not politics or cronyism has to lead the way. in the middle of a deadly public health emergency, one that kills more and more americans every day, our leaders are sidelining science. the science that our lives depend on right now. and before we could even absorb that development today, a top scientist saying the administration forced him out during a deadly pandemic for advocating a science approach. well, that came another example. the cdc director robbert redfied forced to fall on his sword tonight after his warning to "the washington post" warning that a second wave of the coronavirus coming at the same time as the flu could be more difficult and more complicated. forced to do that, fall on his sword, with a grim president standing by. >> thank you, mr. president. i really do think it's impor

gordon: dr. harrist? dr. harrist: the question was based on the calculations we have done can they predict if there will be a shortage of hospital beds? of i.c.u. beds? i think i want to be careful and responsible in putting out a number that is a number that is based on assumptions and use these models for what they should be used for which is trying to prepare for the worst. but we do know that in wyoming, specifically, you know, beds for critically ill patients, i.c.u. beds, ventilators, are limited. so what i am concerned about, yes, is having enough of those specific types of beds if we have a large surge of illness among people who develop severe illness and require ospitalizations. gov. gordon: thank you, angus. i see another question. i think that might have come from you which is why is miami experiencing such a shortage of splice? is it due to population or planning? is every state facing this issue to the same extent? let me take a moment before i give that question to drktor budd and be very hones

dr. anthony fauci said during that presentation, models are only as good as the assumptions they're based on. the question is can we do more to bring the death toll down? we're going to look at that tonight because the answer is yes. the question is can we actually do it? do we have the staying power? as dr. deborah birx said, there would be no magic bullets or vaccines, at least immediately. rather, she said our behavior, our behavior, you and me, is all we have to stem the number of dead. and these are the numbers as we know them today. at least 794 people died today. that's a single-day record in the u.s. just like yesterday's 519 dying in this country was a record. just like sunday's total of 456 people, men and women who died, was a record. every day new records, and every day we break that record by more and more people dying. the total number of death, 3,798 in this country. as for how the white house came up with these projections, this is what dr. birx had to say. >> so right now

dr. peter li from the university of houston. he is an expert on east asian politics and wet markets, which is one of the reasons we invited you one. thank you for joining us. we appreciate the photos you sent us. you have been to the so-called wet markets, believed to be the source. what are they? they are a small section likee regular marketplace, the seafood market. it is a 5% of the business space. live where you can find chickens on live ducks and they slaughter them for you. it is where you get warm meat. traditionally, these are everywhere but in the last 40 years, they have been going down. arisen,w wet market has which is water wet market. in china in the 1980's i never saw these. it is new. , the seafood market has a huge marketplace where you can but one corner is called water life wet market. and in0% of the space different you see water animals, legally allowed snakes and also endangered species and animals caught in the wild. it is not a place most people would find enjoyable

your thoughts, dr. siegel? >> dr. siegel: well, dr. fauci -- this is an evolving situation. dr. fauci is talking about an article, a study that was just published in "nature medicine," one of our top journals. it referred to the idea, the fact that you are literally spewing this virus. respiratory droplets still, harris, but you are spewing it even when you speak and much more easily than we had realized. we are realizing how highly contagious this is. to see him move on this, it's clearly something we have to move on, as well. i have a concern, though, about

dr. fauci, in fact, dr. nesheiwat, was sitting at his news appearance yesterday -i should correct that, in his interview appearances yesterday --dash that he was concerned not everybody was social distancing. not just that there wasn't this blanket for the entire nation, and everybody, every state needs to participate, but that people are still not abiding by this. i hear david saying, "when do we get there?" my question is, when do you get to the point where we are all doing the same thing in making a difference at the same time? or is that necessary? >> dr. nesheiwat: absolutely necessary. i completely agree. 9:00, 10:00 at night, i was heading home after my shift on the subway. there is so many people out, i had to look for seat on the subway to keep 6-10 feet in front of me. what is going on here? i have to be careful, i don't want to go out and come up to the people and say, "what are you doing? you shouldn't be out partying and drinking." i literally see young folks out on the subway platforms eating a

i think dr. oliver first. dr. oliver: the question was to please expand upon contact tracing and how we propose to do that as we step up to prepare for phase one and going into phase one of recovery. as you pointed out, contact tracing is a very labor intensive thing. for every one person who has covid-19, you have to track down all the people that they've come into contact with. we understand that, as we begin to move toward decreasing social distancing, we will have to increase our ability to do contact tracing because the cases will start to rise again. and we want to try to contain that as best we can. so part of what we're doing is not only ramping up on our testing capabilities, but looking to ramp up our medical workforce, utilizing our medical reserve corps, utilizing furloughed and under utilized healthcare workers through hospital systems and private practices, and other volunteers as well. we also are looking at a number of apps to help us in that process. i would point out that, even with those apps, h

dr. birx and dr. fauci were pressed on, if the united states had taken action sooner, mitigation action sooner, would that be curve be lower? would the projection of death be lower? they did a little dancing. they didn't want to answer it. i understand why. dr. fauci did approach it. you have an opinion on this. you think we got into this too late. >> look, dr. fauci and dr. birx are both terrific, both doing a very good job. i have no -- any public health expert who does not believe if we had gotten our testing together, our hospitals ready, if we had communicated and gotten a lot of ur lockdown orders going earlier, we wouldn't have -- we clearly would have had a different situation. i don't like to look backwards, but would have been different. >> i'm with you. i don't want to look backward either. but it doesn't form how we should behave going forward and how seriously we have to take it going forward. which gets to some of the things that alisyn and dr. gounder were talking about, some states don

and dr. redfield himself said that we were lucky that it didn't hit at the same time as flu this year because -- and then in his quote that i quoted him, he said that it would be very, very, very -- i think he used four very's, difficult on the health system capacity. so you take all those things. flu at the same time as coronavirus. and if people don't get vaccinated, the rush to hospitals -- it is just common sense, the portrait would be when he says difficult and people not understanding what he means, it means that he's drawing this picture for americans of how bad it could be. that seems to me the definition of devastating. >> bottom line, you stand by your story. >> we stand by my story. i stand by my story. and dr. redfield said he was quoted accurately. and i would point out, anderson, after the story posted he also tweeted and encouraged people to read the story. >> we put up his tweet earlier. lena, i appreciate your reporting. sanjay, i want to turn to georgia. the president said h

dr. joining us in washingn anthony fauci. thank you for being with us on c-span. we appreciate it. to the get right questions. what is the plan for testing people who have had or believe they have had covid-19 and recovered? is a test being developed to determine immunity? the doctor mentioned that a little bit ago. the test that determines, not if you are infected but if you have been infected and you have what they call antibodies against the virus, which is a sign that you have been exposed and infected, but it could be in indication that you are now immune and essentially protected from being infected again. are still a lot of unknowns that we need to be careful of because we still do not know the relationship between the level of antibody and the degree of protection. total not sure what the immunity is. many of these antibody tests that are out there have not been completely and totally validated. telling us that they are butistent and reproducible, the answer to the question, when

dr. fauci always says, put your foot on the gas and make sure we continue to strongly mitigate and really protect those with pre-existing conditions. finally, those pre-existing conditions we know now include asthma. so asthma, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, any of these conditions, renal disease, no matter what age, please make sure you're following the guidelines to protect those individuals in your household. we know they are more susceptible to a worse outcome. we don't think that everyone is more susceptible to getting infected. i want to make sure everyone understands everybody is susceptible to getting infected. this virus is very transmittable as we well know. but we need to protect those who need our protection the most. thank you for what you're doing to get the message out to ensure we continue to protect each other during this very difficult time. >> dr. fauci, please. >> thank you, mr. vice president. just to follow up and underscore what dr. birx has said, a
