On both Senate GOP and Dem calls today, WH task force was very careful not to put a date on when country could reopen, per sources in both parties. Fauci wouldn’t commit to May but suggested certain regions of the country could open up eventually.
Fauci made the point to the GOP that opening things back up doesn't mean going back to business as usual right away. They said to get to that point, there needs to be a robust system of testing and contact tracing.
The task force made clear they are still working on a massive increase in testing and are working to get there. Abbot hopes to have 2 million per month of the 15-minute tests available by May, but there was a recognition that that is still short of what's needed.
There was discussion that the existing 18,000 tests from Abbot aren't being fully utilized. Sources in both parties say more needs to be done to get to widespread test availability.
Sen. Ron Johnson asked about hydroxychloroquine, and FDA’s Stephen Hahn indicated that the company that manufactures the drug is ramping up production with the goal of 50 million shipments. Hahn cautioned they are working with doctors to make sure they understand limits of drug
