Dr. Birx says that while the coronavirus trends give her “great hope” for slow re-openings over the next few months, many of the social distancing measures that have upended American life will be a constant fixture through the summer.
. On Saturday, she told Fox News that the president was “digesting” information about a recent study about the effect of sunlight on the virus, comments she reiterated Sunday.
“All of us are very clear and very clear in our discussions with the American people how we are looking and utilizing data to drive decision-making within the task force."Birx voiced some optimism about the country’s direction. Days after Vice President Mike Pence suggested that the virus will be largely “behind us” after Memorial Day, she told “Meet the Press” that new modeling based off of the virus’ progression in America is promising.
“If you look at these outbreaks over time and you look at places like Louisiana, if you look at Houston, if you look at Detroit, if you look at how they've reached their peak and come down and what those cases look like as they come down, it gives us great hope when you project out Boston and Chicago and certainly the New York metro."
