Chief of the Coronavirus labor forceAnthony Fauci, MD, gave a wrong warning to the congress Wednesday, March 11, about theCoronavirus epidemic in the United States. As he appeared before the Chamber and Reform Supervisory Committee, Fauci said, "We will see more cases and things will get worse than they are now. How much worse they will depend on our ability to do two things: contain the influx of infected people come from outside and the ability to contain and mitigate in our own country. At the bottom of the line: it will get worse. "

Then President of the CommitteeCarolyn Maloney New York asked, "If we do not test people, we do not know how many of them have been infected. Is that correct?"

"It's ok," said Fauci. "Two aspects of the tests: a person who comes to a doctor and calls for a test because they have symptoms or circumstances that suggest that they can be infected. The other way to do tests is to make surveillance. You go out in the community. And do not wait for anyone to enter and ask for a test, but you have actively been proactively-get a test. We push for that. ... The CDC has already begun this in the six cities Sentinel and will expand that in many other cities. You are absolutely correct. We need to know how many people, at best our abilities, are infected. "

At the same hearing of the Congress, Director of the CDCRobert Redfield, MD, repeated that the CDC had "75,000 [tests]". "Werework hard for available tests, "he says." My role is to get it available for the public health system. ... On the other side, there is a private sector to get it to clinical medicine. And I think you will see that with Lab Corp and the laboratory quest, these tests unfold. "
