One of President Trump's top medical advisers has warned that the US is entering a new phase in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
Deborah Birx told CNN the disease was "extraordinarily widespread" across the country and a greater threat than when the outbreak first began.
She said it was now affecting rural areas as well as big cities.
She said rural communities were not immune and should wear masks and practice social distancing.
The US has recorded more cases and deaths than any other country.
According to a tally by Johns Hopkins University, more than 4.6 million infections and at least 154,834 deaths have been confirmed in America.
Worldwide, nearly 18 million cases and at least 687,072 deaths have been reported.
What did Birx say? "To everybody who lives in a rural area, you are not immune or protected from this virus," said Dr Birx, a leading member of the White House's coronavirus task force.
"This epidemic right now is different and it's more widespread and it's both rural and urban."
She also shared her concerns about people taking holidays in hot spots, citing what she had seen while visiting 14 states during the last three weeks.
"As I travelled around the country, I saw all of America moving," Dr Birx said. "If you have chosen to go on vacation into a hot spot, you really need to come back and protect those with co-morbidities and assume you're infected."
America's outbreak has gained pace over the summer, particularly in southern and western states.
In another development, US House Speaker and leading Democrat Nancy Pelosi attacked Dr Birx, linking her to "disinformation" spread by President Trump.
Dr Birx responded that she always based her decisions on scientific data.

Demographics matter a great deal in any pandemic. How else to tailor preventative and treatment protocols?
Scarf Lady’s true colors not staying covered up so well, eh?
“Would be nice to get some real, solid numbers from somewhere.”
Figures lie and liars figure.
Maybe America’s Frontline Doctors can become American patriots’ honest info source?
MSM and leftist websites have gone after them and censored them hard for supporting HCQ + zinc. Of course, their attackers, as always, leave out zinc (that’s a huge tell).
Hey Debbie, FU
My question as well. Was she and her entire entourage tested every eight hours during her trip to make sure they weren’t spreading it?
She can take a trip, but no one else should. Rules for thee but not for me.
I forgot...... where did you get your medical degree that allows you to criticize a great American woman?
This is obviously more economic warfare on the Trump economy. Dems want to stall recovery until November.
The object of the useless masks and the constant doomsday predictions is to make everyone fearful and miserable so they just stay home. A backhanded way of having people stay home without stay home “orders”, thereby slowing the economy leading to the election.
The “reporters” aren’t reporters, they’re shills for the democrats. Any who aren’t shills can’t ask those questions because they would probably be barred from entering the room in the future, and wouldn’t get a truthful answer anyway.
And that’s the information we never get:
_____________________________________________________
How many of these “cases” are asymptomatic? How many are not?
How many are seeking medical care or are hospitalized for the virus?
What are the ages, races, and locations of all these people?
Are they all being quarantined and traced? If so, are they obeying quarantine?
If initially asymptomatic, are they developing symptoms or the need for medical care later on?
If initially symptomatic, are the symptoms passing without need for medical care.
What are the timelines of all these variables and changes in condition? Two days? Five? A week? Two weeks?
____________________________________________________
We get none of this information, just broad numbers, which leads me to believe none of it. It’s all made up as they go along, and trying to break it down into details would result in numbers that just don’t add up, so they don’t report any of that, because they can’t.
“Dems want to stall recovery until November.”
And TIP a mail-in vote.
Trump & team are close to many D’rat indictments, I do believe, and the D’rats are desperate to eliminate the threat.
They are truly dangerous people. Greedy, tyrannical, two-faced, ignorant and desperate people, colluding against us and our POTUS.
I think that’s been the root of this since the beginning. They’re scared that Trump is going to throw some big names in jail and they’re pulling out all the stops to prevent that.
They’ll destroy the country and the lives of its citizens to stay out of the graybar hotel.

Lying before and still lying. Just flu season.
When the cdc and others like her lump together the flu, pneumonia, chinese flu and anyone dying from anything then the pandemic is a false won. Where are the millions dead in the whole world?
The 80th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will go on this year, bringing an expected crowd of around 250,000.
The 10-day rally begins on Friday, and has attracted as many as 600,000 visitors in the past.
Go a head and tell the bikers to wear a mask.
Or what areas to avoid...
Yep. Just like all the congress critters going to the Lewis funeral in GA. Yet mere commoners are limited in holding funerals and would have to go through the quarantine protocols which were waived for the critters.
and all the democrats who went to the hot spot of georgia and sat in a non social distanced funeral with hundreds of people from arounfmd the nation are exempt from travel rules, because science.
