Sanjay Gupta: We Have To Maintain ‘Physical Distancing’ Until We Have a Way Out
‘A lot of people who are dying, sadly, every day, and we haven’t really seen the back end of this curve yet’
RUSH EXCERPT:
GUPTA: “But what I think it’s brought things down to, Chris, is sort of a slower burn. There is still a lot of cases that are happening every day. A lot of people who are dying, sadly, every day, and we haven’t really seen the back end of this curve yet. I think this is what the data is telling us, that physical distancing will plateau us. It’s not going to be a way out so we have to maintain this for a period of time until there is an actual way out, which is either going to be a vaccine, which everyone talks about, a really effective therapeutic, or a way to test so robustly that you can immediately find these patients who have the infection and isolate them. And we’re not in a position to do those things yet.”
