caller: my name is michelle with the lansing regional chamber of commerce in lansing, michigan. dr. fauci, thank you for joining us. my question is around masks and businesses, businesses are in the unfortunate position of being the mask police. they are anxious for the revenue, but desperate to stay healthy and open and have to often confront patrons who are not wearing masks. this has led to uncomfortable and even dangerous encounters -- what advice would you have for business owners and staff members to manage or address the situation? what would be a message to the community at large to drive home the critical importance of wearing a mask? dr. fauci: thank you, michelle. the answer to the second part of your question is probably the answer to the first part. i am totally aware, because i've spoken to many in the same situation, commercial people in lansing. it gets difficult that people don't want to cooperate and you don't want a hostile environment in your business for obvious reasons, but on the other hand, you want to maintain the highest levels of safety. what i have been t

places like lansing. i'm proud to represent more than 40 cities and towns. it's no secret that state and local revenues have plummeted due to covid-19. yet these dollars pay for critical government services like first responders, trash collection, teachers, and public health workers. and covid-19 has shown us how truly indispensable they are. the heroes act includes billions in federal investments in our states, cities, and towns, the places we call home. under the heroes act, lansing in my district will receive more than $13 million over the next two years. more than $18 million for cal ewe met city. and -- calumet city. think about what those resource can do for our communities. every cent pay force our firefighters and teachers, health educators, and essential bus drivers. hero act funds will ensure our kids keep learning despite covid-19. it provides $90 billion to ensure schools can cover the cost of the digital transition and they'll be safe and sanitary when students return. and finally, the hero act prioritizes ensuring american families can eat by i

we saw a bar in east lansing, michigan, hundreds of people getting cases. league coach coach a team in another state and come back and infect others with the virus. people need to be vigilant and rey moyon so the way they were in the beginning. we have to make sure our healthcare systems can handle the spike. we're seeing thousands of cases a day, we're at 600 and we want to slow that as quickly and as effectively as possible. >> i want to play some sound from dr. fauci and get your response on the other side. take a listen. >> i think any state that is having a serious problem, that state should seriously look at shutting down. it is not for me to say because each state is different. >> dr. fauci is not specifying any state, he wouldn't group michigan with some of the states that we're looking at in the south and west. do you know at what point you're looking at numbers or hospitalizations or death counts you say we got to go backwards and fast based on whatever our reopening process was. >> we have been transparent in terms of what our numbers are and wha

but we did learn this week one bar, just one bar in east lansing, michigan, has now been connected to at least 152 cases of coronavirus. should bars be allowed to reopen right now in any u.s. city? >> absolutely not. these are super spreader events, and that bar situation that widely reported this week in michigan was a classic superspreader event where many asymptomatic people came together in the confines, again, of a bar and it resulted in a number, dozens of people contracting, testing positive for the coronavirus. we've had similar outbreaks in california, arizona, et cetera, where bars have been the magnet, but they've also been sort of the genesis of these outbreaks in particularly five states that are seeing astronomical numbers of increased cases over the last ten days. >> some states have started to close bars again or delayed their reopening. we're also seeing states like florida and california closing beaches. are these kinds of measures enough to stop the spike in cases we're seeing in nearly 40 states? >> ana, it's necessary but not sufficient. we have to do more. and as

at michigan state in east lansing, they're exploring a combination strategy that's going to be new toand that might be new for anyone else. and it starts with a spit test developed at the university by a neuroscience professor named jack lipton, this man. the kit costs around $3 apiece. as you can see, it's pretty simple. you can do this in the privacy of your own apartment or dorm room. you put your sample in the vial with the little bar code. you seal it in the bag and voila, your part is over. the lab at michigan state will take your sample and combine it with others in what is known as pool testing, which maybe you've heard about recently. the idea behind pool testing is that it can help labs do more, way more with way less. instead of having each person take their own separate test, you pool the samples from a small number of people, about a dozen, and you run a single test on that pool. if the pool turns up positive, only then do you need each person in the pool to take a test. but if the pool turns up negative, you're done. the single test covered a dozen people. in a place whe
