course you can go back and say if we would have done this or we would have done that you know what dr fouty said at every step of the way when we recommended mitigation when president trump said ok when when when so that is when president trump ad said let's do 15 days to slow the spread that's one president transept ok let's do 30 more days to slow the spread so you are totally taking dr foushee out of context it's not accurate and he cleared this up for everyone to say and the media attacked him for it and the media said are you being forced to say that's really denigrating the integrity of dr foushee and i think it's really irresponsible for people in the media to continue to try to use people who are working 24 hours a day on this to try to say they have that you'll notice they have done an incredible job. all working together when the recommendations were presented to president trump he took them and you know nancy pelosi what was she doing in february she was saying come to china town she wasn't taking this seriously because she should have been in congress giving relief to americans

for it and the media said are you being forced to say that's really denigrating the integrity of dr fouty and i think it's really irresponsible for people in the media to continue to try to use people who are working 24 hours a day on this to try to say they have battle motives they have done an incredible job. all working together when the recommendations were presented to president trump he took them and you know nancy pelosi what was she doing in february she was saying come to china town she wasn't taking this seriously oh she should have been in congress giving relief to americans and she's still holding it up so don't tell me that republicans and president trunk haven't acted immediately and haven't taken this seriously when we see delay after delay after delay from democrats in congress how helpful was it was with harrington to cut the funding for u.s. public and stop operating inside china by 2 thirds reducing the numbers from 47 people in general 2017 to 14 by 29 thereby removing a substantial number of the vital eyes and ears installed in china that could have told you this was

number so when you're talking about anyone who needed a test need that was available and of course dr fouty has talked about this numerous times you know what the problem was with testing at the very outset was that government did not have the capability for a nationwide test that we had to go to the private sector and when we got the private sector involved that led us to become the world leader in testing so it's very convenient for people to go back and rewrite history but the facts at the time in early march when we had a very limited number of cases we were able to test people send it to the c.d.c. and get those results back to guess what as the crisis changed as the problem adapted we adapted and we waived the necessary onerous regulation that required states to send all of their testing to be testing at the c.d.c. that wasn't feasible but guess what that was what the regulations forced us to do by waiving that and by working with the f.d.a. and listening to what dr burke says said she spent a lifetime begun. and service she's never seen an administration be able to talk to the doctor

industry back it's going to be doing that for years to come and if there is a 2nd wave of virus as dr fouty and others warn us well then all of what i just said double carrots well it's interesting that you say that professor wolf because i often look at it this way and i say if we reopen this economy too soon the salute broader outside of the airline industry but if we were open this economy too soon and we have another breakout even before that 2nd wave that may happen in the fall or winter look things are going to get a lot worse and they're going to get worse very quickly when it comes to economic impact because then people are going to say oh there's no hope and i think that you're to look at that same thing when it comes to the airline industry specifically because again like you said why do you want to get on an airplane when you have a health risk. it is a fundamental reality that also expands the border we have now tested less than or at most if the numbers of jumping one percent of the people in this country we have $325000000.00 people we tested maybe one maybe 2 if you're if you

president address this but the latest coming from the white house is that the president will not fire dr fouty despite the fact that he retreated on sunday with the hash tag fire from kimberly how could thank you very much. new york's governor says the worst is over for his state which has been the epicenter of the u.s. outbreak well in 10000 people have died there but under cuomo says the numbers appear to be stabilizing if we continue to be smart going forward because remember we have to hear on that ground you turn that valve to fail you'll see that number jump right back but yes i think you could say the worst is over because the worst here are people dying that's the worst the worst doesn't get any bad than this worst and this worst is people dying that's the worst or christensen he joins us live from new york skype christine the figures are still grim but the government not looking to plan how to reopen after the worst is over. that's right he stopped short of getting rid of any social distancing measures at this point but for the 1st time we're hearing him talk about a way out in an end
