The feeling behind Elon Musk's rant against state stay-at-home orders is shared by a growing number of Americans, Dr. Scott Gottlieb says.
said that only a few regions have demonstrated sustained reductions in new cases, including Ohio, Idaho and parts of the Northeast.
In states where cases are going up, Gottlieb said, governors should wait "a little longer" before relaxing restrictions. He said he understands it is a difficult decision due to the economic havoc wrought by the orders. "I think the bigger risk right now is we reopen while we still have a lot of smoldering infection and so we never quite get rid of it It just continues to smolder all through the summer and then we face combustion in the fall," said Gottlieb.
