anthony fauci yesterday morning. i was watching the interview on cnn where he said the deaths could reach as much as 200,000. from the medical advisors to the trump administration is they need to mitigate that kind of scenario, flatten the curve. means continuing social distancing, continuing a number of cities on lockdown so president trump's ambition of reopening america by easter is falling flat, which means now, everyone needs to remain in this new normal of social distancing by april 30. seeing the infections rise in new york after dr. anthony fauci in the interview was talking about more than half the cases coming from new york. once new york is taken care of, they are seeing infections tick higher in other cities like new orleans, detroit, as well as in los angeles, so it is going to be, looks like, a longer battle that at least the trump administration was expecting. last week, we were talking about how new york had become the epicenter of the virus in the u.s. what are we likely to see in terms of a continue

anthony fauci and dr. deborah birx, members of the coronavirus task force presented models that showed 100,000 or more people could die from disease. >> we're going to have millions of cases. what we do know is we have a serious problem in new york. we have a serious problem in new orleans and we'll be developing serious problems in other areas. >> as state leaders watch the cases spike in new york, they're streamlining the distribution of critical supplies. >> we have a desperate need for the testing kits. >> my role is to get every person personal pro tech equipment every piece i can get into the state of michigan. we need some assistance. we're going to need thousands of ventilators. >> we obviously have a spread growing faster than we would like to see. the first real issue is going to be ventilators. >> new york city's mayor warning, it's not just ventilators his hospital will need. >> personnel is more and more the issue. we need to get them relief. >> on the fields of central park, an emergency hosp

bret: anthony fauci testified that there is failing on the testing. a few months ago you tweeted out mike pence does not believe in science, it is utterly irresponsible to put him in charge of the coronavirus response as the world sits on the cusp of a pandemic, this decision could cost people their lives. his past decisions already have. mike pence is the head of the coronavirus task force with anthony fauci, the head of the cdc and other scientists were part of it. isn't that politics? >> i disagree with the appointment of the vice president. i made that extraordinarily clear but at the end of the day he is there. we need to focus on the actions that need to be happening right now and the actions the need to be happening is making sure we are taking care of people who are going to be hurting as a result of this. this is a public health crisis and also an economic crisis. on the public health front we have a lot of people who are older and immunocompromised in this country and the coronavirus -- ten times more lethal than the flu. bret: the h1 and on

anthony fauci joins us. we'll take questions in the studio and social media and video. there are thousands of questions we received just in the last few days. first, though, how we got here. >> health officials in china are trying to identify mysterious strain of pneumonia. >> this mysterious new cluster of pneumonia cases is raising deep concerns here and across the region. >> december 31st, chinese authorities informed the world health organization of an unusual illness in wuhan, china. officials believe the virus was transmitted to humans from animals. >> so this is where authorities

anthony fauci. they are expected to continue their testimony on the federal response to the spread of covid-19 before the house oversight and reform committee. this hearing began this morning at 9:30. they've been in recess since 11:40 this morning so the witnesses could attend meetings at the white house. live coverage of this hearing when it resumes here on c-span3. also, vice president mike pence was expected to meet with hospital executives this afternoon at 1:00 to talk about the federal response to the coronavirus. that meeting, we understand, has not yet gotten under way. we will be taping it and bringing it to you on the c-span networks. the hearing with ken cuccinelli, the acting deputy homeland security secretary will be available online at c-span.org. he's testifying before the house homeland security committee on how his department is responding to the coronavirus. that hearing online live now at -- it started at 2:00 p.m. eastern. you can see it at c-span.org. until this hearing, before

anthony fauci telling lawmakers that the virus will continue to spread. but how bad it gets will depend on how governments respond. >> we will see more cases and things will get worse than they are right now. bottom line, it's going to get worse. >> reporter: it got worse fast for clay bentley, a retired officer from rome, georgia, who was sent home from an urgent care after a flu test came back negative. >> over the next four days, i got really bad. >> reporter: he called the hospital back and finally got tested for the virus. positive for covid-19. he's now worried about his family getting it. >> i just assumed i had the flu. no energy, hard time breathing, aching all over. cold chills, fevers. i have had the flu before but i have never felt this bad. >> reporter: across the country, drastic measures. in new york, where the number of cases now tops 200, the national guard preparing for deployment in that so-called containment zone. a one-mile radius in new rochelle, north of manhattan, that cluster, home to the state's biggest outbreak, linked back to t

anthony fauci, the government's top expert. he said changes are being made to the testing process. >> so you testified today that the u.s. testing system is currently failing and we're not set up for universal testing. who's responsible for this failure? >> you know, i don't think it's anyone that's responsible. what i was referring to is that the system as it was originally designed was really designed for a patient to doctor relationship in which the cdc would make a test, give it to the public health authorities in a particular state or local section, and that if someone needed a test they would get an individual test. what it was not designed for was the broad, more global as it were screening, where you could not only just get a test for an individual but you could go and essentially blanket the country to find out how many people are actually infected. we are making very rapid steps to going toward i would hope in the next week or so where we'd be able to get the commercial individuals involved, commercial companies, so t

anthony fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, saying the u.s. could see at least a million cases and potentially as many as 200,000 deaths. >> the number i gave out is, you know, based on modeling, and i think it's entirely conceivable that if we do not mitigate to the extent that we're trying to do, that you could reach that number. >> reporter: the president after considering a quarantine of new york, new jersey and connecticut tweeted it won't be necessary. instead, the cdc issuing a travel advisory to residents of the tristate area. and other states now implementing strict measures to stop the spread. texas announced a mandatory two-week self-quarantine for tr locations, and in florida long lines of traffic as check points are used to enforce quarantines for anyone traveling from virus hot zones. dr. deborah birx from the white house coronavirus task force, says they're studying new york closely. >> what i wanted to be very clear on is every metro area should assume that they could have an outbreak equivalent to new york and do everything ri

anthony fauci and dr. debra burkes made the case that the white house needed to encourage americans to change behavior to stop the spread of the virus. but the president emphasis new attitude apparently only goes so far. he's still tweeting tonight about what he calls the chinese virus. even though there are now more reported cases outside of mainland china than inside. and he is giving himself top marks for the way he has responded to the crisis so far. >> very simple question. does the buck stop with you, and on a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate your response to this crisis? >> i'd rate it a 10. i think we've done a great job. >> but the most important facts in all of this, facts the president now admitting that coronavirus is not under control in this country. and each one of us is going to have to take it seriously. even if the new guidelines, avoiding groups of more than 10 people, not going to restaurants, avoiding travel seem inconvenient -- >> some may look at them and say they're going to be r

anthony fauci has become the face of the us fight against the coronavirus. president trump tapped the media savvy doctor to be one of his top advisers. few can rival his expertise on the science behind infectious diseases or his frank assessment of america's shortcomings in fighting them. the system does not... is not really geared to what we need right now, what you are asking for. that is a failing. a failing, yes. it is a failing, let's admit it. doctor fauci has seen conflict before. he came to his current role during the aids epidemic in the 1980s and warned ronald reagan to take it seriously. he's advised every president since then, navigating outbreaks from ebola to zika, praised for his compassion and calm. in this crisis, though, he's up against a president who is intent on giving americans good news. he's found himself tamping down mr trump's excitement over quick fix solutions, like whether an anti—malaria drug could help patients with coronavirus. is there any evidence to suggest that, as with malaria, it might be used as a prophylaxis against

anthony fauci and dr. leonard schleifer, as you hear that, your reaction or thoughts? guest: first of all, kudos to tony. he has been amazing, working his tail off. i don't even know if the man sleeps but he has been doing everything he can to move forward on things like a vaccine. when i was in the white house meeting with the president, dr. fauci was part of that group and i echoed his sentiment that a vaccine takes some time. there are some vaccines you develop that make people worse. you can't just say you've got it. what he said very carefully is we can try half a dozen of these , start scaling up a half dozen of these and then if one or two work, we will already have the material. that is something only on a scale that the federal government can do. private industry and these smaller companies cannot afford to manufacture something less they know there was a customer likely to be there and that is why you stage these things. he is saying to do these things in parallel. it makes perfect sense to me. our antibody cocktail is something that won't have the same limit

anthony fauci, was asked about it and offered a reality check. here's cecelia vega. >> reporter: 24 hours after president trump declared a malaria drug would be made available almost immediately to help treat coronavirus, dr. anthony fauci declared the drug has not actually been proven to help. >> is there any evidence to suggest that, as with malaria, it might be used as a prophylaxis against covid-19? >> no. the answer is no. and the evidence that you are talking about, john, is anecdotal evidence. >> reporter: but president trump pushed on, leading to a rare public rebuke by the nation's foremost expert on infectious diseases. >> it may work, it may not work. i feel good about it. that's all it is. just a feeling. you know, i'm a smart guy. you know the expression? what the hell do you have to lose? i have been right a lot. let's see what happens. >> reporter: i would like dr. fauci, if you don't mind, to follow up on what the president is saying. should americans have hope in this drug right now? >> the president feels optimistic about someth

anthony fauci is delivering a warning that a vaccine is not coming to the rescue. have a listen. >> so when you have heard me say we would not have a vaccine that would even be ready to start to deploy for a year to a year and a half, that is the timeframe. now, anyone who thinks they're going to go more quickly than that, i believe will be cutting corners that would be detrimental. what does that tell us? that tells us now, the next month, the next several months, we're going to have to rely on public health measures to contain this outbreak. >> that, of course, contradicts something the president said just days ago, that a vaccine was coming soon. u.s. cases have now topped 1,000, and it is changing how more and more people live their lives. an entire new york city suburb will be under containment, this includes restrictions on events with 250 or more people. the national guard has been called in to help disinfect areas there. >> well, on the opposite side of the country in washington state, today, the seattle times is reporting that the governor, governor jay in

anthony fauci: social distancing is really physical separation of people. dr. deborah birx: it's what we refer to when we ask people to stay at least six feet apart. dr. anthony fauci: not going to bars, not going to restaurants, not going to theaters where there are a lot of people... it all just means physical separation so you have a space between you and others who might actually be infected or infect you. dr. jerome adams: we all have a role to play in preventing person-to-person spread of this disease which can be deadly for vulnerable groups. for more information on how you can social distance please go to coronavirus.gov >>> welcome back. it's now 4:15 here on mornings on 2. ucsf skeping personal donations. the public can drop off items at these facilities. ucsf mission center and benihoff children's hospital. unopened packages of gloves, hand sanitizers and new goggles. . >> any supplies that we get to help fill those gaps that we may have in the future is extremely helpful and the community has been so generalous donating big, small, any amounts that

anthony fauci himself. here's one viewer question coming in that says, "it's recommended to get extra prescription medication" right now. what if your insurance won't approve it? >> these are the very tough decisions that i think have to be made between insurance companies and government entities. and i think that these are tough questions, and i honestly don't have the answer for how the finances from the insurance companies are necessarily going to shake out. >> and doctor, you're not alone. dr. anthony fauci said the same. he's like, this is something that has to be looked at as we're looking at real possibilities of this all going on for weeks at a time. another thing coming in, because a big question is, of course, being careful the elderly, because obviously, the elderly are the population being hit the hardest by the virus. what age is considered elderly by the cdc? >> the cdc considers older adults to be those who are over 65, and that is really when we start to see large increases in risk of severe
