"My advice would become more aggressive," said Gottlieb on the Trump administration's response to the pandemic in the next two months. "We spent the elections. And I think they have to focus on what we can do at the national level. We argue politically about what I think is a false dichotomy, a strawberry, that it is really a choice between locking and no lock. And this is not the case. We do not need to close the country, close businesses, tell people that they need to stay at home to get some control of this virus. We are not going to get a perfect check on this virus. It's a contagious virus. It will spread, but it does not need to spread at the levels and speed that will start to support the health system, which is what we find. "

I think it's prudent trying to test if you're going together a group of people. But if you have vulnerable people in this context, I think you're still needing Be very careful if you will expose younger people in a wider group to the elderly who are vulnerable. If you do that, make sure they wear high quality masks, try to get a N95 mask and Having them all the time. Try to keep the people separated and distanced where you can. You know, you have to adopt a layered approach. Tests alone can not create a safe environment, a protection bubble - "
