>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE BACK WITH DR. SANJAY

The imperative

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU MENTIONED THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE

EXPOSED TO THIS, YOU MIGHT BE TESTED AND, YOU KNOW, FIND OUT

THAT YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED AND THEN PEOPLE THAT YOU EXPOSED

HAVE TO BE QUARANTINED, HOW DO YOU GET TESTED?

I DON'T THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET TESTED.

I THINK DOCTORS NEED TO MAKE GOOD JUDGMENT HERE.

I DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO CAUSE PANIC BY SAYING EVERYONE SHOULD

>> Stephen: THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID, LAST WEEK, THAT THERE ARE

TESTS OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE, PRESENTLY TESTS FOR EVERYONE,

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL TESTS, GREAT TESTS, EVERYONE WHO WANTS A TEST

CAN GET ONE TODAY, AS OF YESTERDAY, HE SAID.

AND IT'S SAD BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT WORK SO

WE FAIL WITH REGARD TO TESTING IN THIS COUNTRY.

WE DO HAVE EXCELLENT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND FANTASTIC

MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE UNITED STATES, WHY DON'T WE HAVE A TEST

>> WELL, WITH REGARD TO THAT SECOND QUESTION, I THINK THAT'S

WE GET VERY PROVINCIAL IN THE UNITED STATES, IF IT'S NOT

STAMPED WITH A MADE IN AMERICA SIGN, WE TEND TO THINK OF OTHER

THINGS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES, WE AUAUTOMATICALLY THINK THEY'RE NO

THOSE TESTS WERE GOOD AND GOT OUT THERE --

>> Stephen: IS THAT THE TEST THAT'S USED IN OTHER PARTS TO

>> THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION ADOPTED IT AND IT GOT USED IN

THEY'RE USING IT IN MANY COUNTRIES IN EUROPE.

>> Stephen: IS THERE GOING TO BE A TEST SOON THAT CAN BE MASS

>> YES, THERE IS A TEST, AND THERE HAS BEEN A TEST, BUT THEY

TRIED TO SCALE IT UP AND SEND IT OUT TO ALL THE PLACES.

THE INITIAL TEST WAS FLAWED, IT DIDN'T WORK.

THEY COULDN'T COUNT ON IT GIVING CONCLUSIVE RESULTS.

THEY PULLED EVERYTHING BACK AND SAID WE'RE GOING TO DO

WHAT'S STRIKING, THIS WEEK, IF YOU GO TO THE C.D.C.'S

WEB SITE -- AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR SIX

WEEKS, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN SCREAMING INTO THE ABYSS, AND,

FRANKLY, YOU GET A LOT OF PUSHBACK ON SOCIAL MEDIA SAYING

YOU'RE FEAR MONGERING, WHY ARE YOU BEING SO CRITICAL, AND EVEN

IF YOU GO TO THE C.D.C.'S WEB SITE NOW, ZERO TESTS BY THE

C.D.C. ON SOME DAYS THIS WEEK, EIGHT TESTS BY THE PUBLIC HEALTH

NOT 8,000 OR 8 MILLION, EIGHT TESTS TOTE BILL OUR PUBLIC OUR P

>> SOUTH KOREA WAS DOING 10,000 A DAY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

IT'S ALWAYS DESCRIBED IN HUNTING MMETAPHORS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE

EVEN THE NUMBERS TODAY WHICH HAVE GONE UP SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE

LAST WEEK, WHEN THERE WERE 15 CASES, NOW THERE ARE MORE THAN

I THINK THAT'S A GROSS UNDERESTIMATE OF WHAT'S

>> Stephen: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ADDRESS THE PRESIDENT GAVE

PRESIDENTS RARELY SPEAK FROM THE OVAL OFFICE, ONLY TIMES USUALLY

>> Stephen: LAST NIGHT, THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCE ADD EUROPEAN

EUROPEAN LEADERS WERE CAUGHT FLAT-FOOTED.

THEY DENOUNCED IT, AND GLOBAL STOCKS PLUNGED OVERNIGHT.

IS THERE VALUE TO WHAT THE PRESIDENT PROPOSED?

>> YEAH, I THINK THAT METAPHOR IS APPROPRIATE HERE, STEPHEN.

I MEAN, PEOPLE WILL SAY, WHAT ABOUT THE TRAVEL BAN ON CHINA

YOU REMEMBER, 195 AMERICANS BROUGHT IN BY THAT FLIGHT AND

THEN PUT IN QUARANTINE AT THAT AIR FORCE BASE, HUGE MOVE.

THAT HASN'T HAPPENED IN 60 YEARS IN THIS COUNTRY.

THE PROBLEM NOW IS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF CASES OF CORONAVIRUS IN

THIS COUNTRY, AND THEY ARE SPREADING IN COMMUNITIES.

SO YOU REALLY HAVE TO JUSTIFY WWHY YOU WOULD DO A TRAVEL BAN

FROM COUNTRIES THAT MAY HAVE A SIMILAR NUMBER OF CORONAVIRUS AS

WE DO AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CASES WE HAVE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T
