Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, said he doesn't understand why every state hasn't issued stay-at-home orders as novel coronavirus cases continue to surge across the US
"I don't understand why that's not happening," Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN's Anderson Cooper during CNN's coronavirus town hall.More than 30 states and the District of Columbia have ordered their residents to stay at home. Fauci said governors that have held out thus far"really should" reconsider with the number of US cases passing 236,000 on Thursday and continuing to climb.
"Yet a growing number of governors have called for a unified front among states to issues stay-at-home orders aimed at curbing the outbreak. "Our message is this: 'What are you waiting for?'" California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, told CNN Wednesday when asked about governors who haven't followed suit.
