CDC Director Dr. Redfield on the Surge in COVID-19 Numbers
1 hour, 5 minutesCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Robert Redfield talked about the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic and the recent surge in cases across the country at a virtual event hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "December and January and February are going to be rough times," said Dr. Redfield. "I actually believe they're going to be the most difficult time in the public health history of this nation, largely because of the stress that it's going to put on our health care system." The CDC director warned that the U.S. could see as many as 450,000 total deaths by the end of January, but that it would largely depend on how seriously Americans took mitigation measures. Dr. Redfield reflected on the U.S. response to the virus and how the country could be better prepared for a future pandemic. He also praised the innovation that was spurred by the global pandemic and touted the apparent efficacy of a number of vaccines.
