Dr. Deborah Birx said Saturday that Americans should especially focus on social distancing guidelines in the next two weeks to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“This is the moment to not be going to the grocery store, not going to the pharmacy, but doing everything you can to keep your family and your friends safe,” she said.
Birx noted that Pennsylvania, Colorado, and the Washington, DC, metro area were starting to have an increasing number of cases.
“We’re hoping and believing that if people mitigate strongly, the work that they did over the last two weeks will blunt that curve,” she said.
She pointed to really bad hotspots in New Jersey and New York, where cases of the virus and deaths were still going up.
“The next two weeks are extraordinarily important,” she said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci also said three or four hotspots were continuing to rise, but that certain areas could flatten the curve by social distancing.
“Just make sure everybody does the at least minimal amount of that physical separation, because the virus has no place to go if you’re physically separating,” Fauci said.

I have to go to the grocery store and CVS has meds for me.
Sorry “doctor”, I think I;d just rather live and enjoy life.
These people are dumb as any other liberal.
Who is going to starve to death? I have been to the store twice in the last three weeks and the shelves were bare in spite of being stocked every day. I have enough food for a couple of months, and that’s from before the recommendation to stay home, but I wanted a couple of fresh items like OJ and raisins and bread.
But it’s clear that my neighbors are buying more food now than they have in the last six months. Apparently they’ve all decided to become bakers too since they scarf up every bag of flour put on the shelves. And that’s with all our tourist related accommodations shut down.
why don’t they just say WEAR A MASK and WASH YOUR HANDS....
FREE BEER TOMORROW
One way to defeat covid-19 is to starve to death.
Yep. The Dapper Dan delima. I’m about to start buying FOP. To hell with this never-ending wait.
where I live, there were lines even for the self check...they had tp but no flour and sugar ( my spouse thought I was crazy to buy 50# of sugar back in January)....everybody was courteous and friendly and I made an effort to speak to any worker there...about 1/3 of people were wearing masks...
You can do it!
I find Dr. Birx to be very annoying to listen to. Not her message, as much as the Valley Girl/Millenial speech pattern she has chosen. Irritates the hell out of me.
I’m holding it to you! When tomorrow comes, it better be free!
F*ck Dr. Birx, F*ck Dr. Fauci -Trump has to get rid of these democrat doctors.
Testing. If we just had more testing the virus would go away.
Where are the dmn tests to see if we are immune?
Don’t eat, don’t use the meds that work, and use a mask that you can’t find. Gee, thanks doc.
Agreed. This is getting ridiculous. I was 100% in favor of precautions at the start. Now I feel like a fu bro because this has become a complete joke. I have 2 total cases in my county. Why should I shut my county down because NYC lives like cattle. Stupid.
I was at Costco yesterday. It was slightly surreal, but I am suffering from normalcy bias.
She IS Deep State.
Americans must accept poverty and economic depression, plus also risk starvation, in order to be protected by our government.
