Dr. Anthony Fauci offered simple advice to elderly or vulnerably ill Americans in the wake of the outbreak.
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace pressed Fauci on whether the U.S. could see a lockdown of its citizens similar to that of Italy, whose government quarantined more than one-quarter of the population.
Fauci said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention along with the State Department plan to issue recommendations to"vulnerable" Americans, particularly those afflicted with"underlying" health conditions. He warned these individuals to be pro-active and reiterated avoiding travel."I mean right now. Don't want until things get worse. Say no large crowds, no long trips," he told NBC News.
He briefly discussed finding the"right balance" in discussing the spread of COVID-19 and avoiding"spin" of the facts for political narratives.
