The New York Times reported that chief communicable disease expert Anthony Fossey will warn the Senate on Tuesday that the United States will see unnecessary suffering and death from the coronavirus if it tries to reopen it very soon.

Fossey who has become the trusted face of the government's response to the virus is one of the first four medical experts to testify remotely at a hearing on Tuesday for the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee.

The main message I would like to convey to the high-level Senate committee tomorrow is the danger of trying to open the country prematurely Fossey wrote in an email to the New York Times on Monday evening.

If we delete the checkpoints in the Open America Again guidelines we risk multiple outbreaks across the country.
This will not only lead to unnecessary suffering and death but will actually slow us in our quest to return to normal said Fossey the White House chief of the Coronavirus workforce.

Fossey himself falls into the modified quarantine after Vice President Mike Pence's spokeswoman with whom he has not been in close contact proved positive.

Opening America Again is the administration's guidelines for a three-stage approach to help government and local officials reopen their economies, noting medical advice on limiting the spread of the virus. Among the management requirements before moving to a phased return, countries must have a downward path of documented cases or positive evidence as a percentage of total evidence for a period of two weeks.

There should be a robust testing program for health workers at risk, with asymptomatic examination as well and tracking positive status communication.
President Donald Trump is pressing for a faster reopening of the American economy, which has been affected by the results of the massive blockade and social exclusion.

Trump has been criticized mainly for giving up any leadership role during the epidemic, leaving states alone to deal with their outbreaks and even trying each other to get critical medical equipment on the open market or overseas.

And while the situation in New York, the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States, has improved progress has been slow elsewhere.

The White House fights casualties within its ranks. The United States has reported more than 80,000 deaths and 1.3 million injuries.
