\"0513TrumpVirusHearing\"<\/p>\n

Two of the federal government\u2019s top health officials painted a grim picture of the months ahead on Tuesday, warning a Senate panel that the coronavirus pandemic was far from contained, just a day after President Trump declared<\/a> that \u201cwe have met the moment and we have prevailed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The officials \u2014 Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the nation\u2019s top infectious disease expert, and Dr. Robert R. Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \u2014 predicted dire consequences if the nation reopened its economy too soon, noting that the United States still lacked critical testing capacity and the ability to trace the contacts of those infected.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we do not respond in an adequate way when the fall comes, given that it is without a doubt that there will be infections that will be in the community, then we run the risk of having a resurgence,\u201d said Dr. Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who is at the forefront of efforts to find a coronavirus vaccine.<\/p>\n

If states reopen their economies too soon, he warned, \u201cthere is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that you may not be able to control,\u201d which could result not only in \u201csome suffering and death that could be avoided, but could even set you back on the road to trying to get economic recovery<\/strong>.\u201d\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
