Dr. Anthony Fauci says it can’t be “business as usual” amid coronavirus threat and you need to 'chill down' social interactions. “We gotta make sure that the vulnerable ones are the ones we protect — the elderly and those with underlying conditions.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks as President Donald Trump listens during a news conference about the coronavirus in the Rose Garden at the White House, March 13, 2020, in Washington.
"I don't see that right now in the immediate future," Fauci said Sunday but added that the administration remains"open-minded about whatever it takes to preserve the health of the American public." As of Sunday morning, there were more than 2,900 confirmed cases in the U.S. and at least 59 coronavirus-related deaths, according to data compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University and ABC News reporting. Globally, there are over 156,000 infected and over 5,800 deaths.
