On what we hurt
"You know, it's almost a question unanswered. There are so many possibilities. I do not like training it in the context of what we did wrong, as opposed to take a look at this which has happened and maybe we can have lessons learned. We have never removed it from the base for a number of reasons. Maybe it was the lack of conformity of people in the country or Types of restrictions that we feel would be appropriate. If you look at the European curve, they came mainly on the basic basis, which is very different from us. So, [they] have a lot of understand the infection. When they have started to open again, there was not much infection. If you look at the European countries, they close around 90 to 95% of the country. While when we were closed, the calculation is that we were closed About 50%. So, put all these factors together, I can not say that we have done anyone E thing wrong, you know, but certainly, we have to do better. "
On how we turn this thing around
"What we need to do now is to learn the lesson of what happened with recent surges. We have to take a break in the opening and maybe even take a step back in our phases , depending on the state where you arrive. I do not want to see [the country] up to finish the lock. I think it will be very difficult for states to accept that. As we try to proceed, We really have to take seriously the question of wearing masks all the time and do not gather in bars. I think we can stop it by simply closing them because they are certainly an important mechanism of this spread. Keep distances. , wash your hands, avoid crowds, wear a mask ... I think if we diligently do these things, we can turn this around. "
Why he told us not to wear masks when the pandemic hit the United States
"I do not regret anything I said then because in the context of the time I said, it was correct. We were told in our meetings of the working group that we have a serious problem with the lack of EPI and masks for health suppliers who endangered every day to care for sick people. That's what the dialogue was in the meetings of the working group, which allowed us all, not just of me, but also of [the American American surgeon] Jerome Adams, to say, 'for the moment, we really need to save the masks for people who need it most. When it has become obvious that the infection Could be extended by asymptomatic carriers that do not know that they are infected, it clearly clearly clear that we should strongly recommend masks. "
On when we have a vaccine
"It was a very good news that theNew England Journal of Medicine Reported that the phase trial 1 substantial securities of neutralizing antibodies have been induced, which is the Golden Standard for Protection Prediction. So it was a very good news for the day. We will start the phase 3 trial in the third or fourth week of July. It will take place on the rest of the summer and in the fall. If all goes well and there are no unforeseen bumps on the road, I hope we should know if the vaccine is safe and effective by the end of this calendar year, or the beginning of the 2021 . "
How long will it be with the coronavirus working group
"Well, I see myself in this role as long as I feel that I'm useful, and I'm valued in it, and the White House wants me. If one of the changes above, I would resign."
