>>> JOINING ME IS DR. TOM INNING
INGLESBY.
WE’VE HEARD A LOT OF CONCERN AND
IT’S NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE
EXPERIENCE, MEMORIAL DAY AND THE
4th OF JULY BOTH KICKED OFF
SPREADS.
AT THIS POINT I GUESS WE HAVE TO
SADLY EXPECT IT NOW THIS
WEEKEND.
>> I DON’T THINK IT’S A FORGONE
CONCLUSION BECAUSE AMERICANS
HAVE THE CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD
DECISIONS, BUT I DO THINK THAT
THEY ARE STILL GETTING MIXED
MESSAGES FROM THE TOP AND FROM
LOCAL LEADERS IN SOME PLACES
WHERE THE MESSAGE THEY MIGHT BE
HEARING IS THIS PANDEMIC IS
MOVING BEHIND US.
AND I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO
HAVE A CONSISTENT MESSAGE THAT
THE PANDEMIC REMAINS SQUARELY IN
FRONT OF US AND WE KNOW WHAT TO
DO AND KNOW HOW TO AVOID
INCREASING RISK OF TRANSMISSION,
AND HOPEFULLY THAT MOST PEOPLE
IN AMERICA WILL BE THINKING
ABOUT THAT THIS WEEKEND.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK
PEOPLE DON’T REALLY COMPREHEND
IS WE ARE STILL, EVEN AS OUR
CASELOAD IS GOING DOWN, IT’S
STILL HIGHER THAN IT WAS IN
APRIL, BACK WHEN WE THOUGHT WAS
OUR FIRST PEAK.
I’M CURIOUS WHAT YOU SEE THIS
MONTH.
WE’VE HAD THE OPENING OF COLLEGE
CAMPUSES IN QUITE A FEW PARTS OF
THE COUNTRY THAT HAS CREATED
SOME LOCALIZED SPIKES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT TELLS US
FOR THE FALL, FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF MONTHS?
WHAT DO YOU FORESEE HERE?
ARE THESE COLLEGE CAMPUSES GOING
TO BE ABLE TO STAY OPEN?
>> I THINK SOME OF THEM WILL.
THERE’S A WIDE -- KIND OF A WIDE
CHANGE IN STRATEGY AROUND THE
COUNTRY IF YOU GO FROM PLACE TO
PLACE ABOUT HOW THEY’RE OPENING
UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES.
SOME ARE TESTING VERY CAREFULLY
AND HAVE VERY GOOD COMMUNICATION
PROGRAMS AND GOOD PROGRAMS TO
ENSURE SOCIAL DISTANCING.
I THINK OTHERS HAVE HAD A MORE
LAY SAN JOSE FAIR APPROACH.
MANY OF THEM HAVE HAD TO CLOSE.
IN YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THE FALL,
I THINK IT IS TRUE THAT, AS WE
BEGIN TO REOPEN SCHOOLS AROUND
THE COUNTRY IN SOME PLACES AND
UNIVERSITIES IN SOME PLACES, AS
PEOPLE BEGIN TO MOVE INDOORS
WHERE IT’S COLDER, I THINK THE
RISK OF THIS DISEASE RESURGING
IS REAL AND SERIOUS.
WE HAVE TO DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO
TRY TO LIMIT THE KIND OF LARGE
