BALTIMORE As some states begin lifting coronavirus safety restrictions, the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security says he worries the country will see waves of new COVID-19 cases through summer and fall.
Tom Inglesby appeared Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press to discuss realistic timelines for easing social distancing and the limitations of data on coronavirus cases. The director is one of the doctors advising Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan on his coronavirus task force.
While some states like Georgia, Oklahoma and Alaska are easing shutdowns, Inglesby said officials should remember that the virus is still highly transmissible.
Nothing has changed in the underlying dynamics of this virus, he said. If we stop social distancing altogether tomorrow, we would recreate the conditions that existed in the country in February and March.
