Dr. William Schaffner says treatment for the coronavirus 'is likely to come if everything works well — sooner than a vaccine.' 'Developing the vaccine will still take longer, even though we are doing a full court press on that.'
CNN's Anderson Cooper and Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta speak to Mike Ryan, director of the World Health Organization's Health Emergencies Program about the US' capacity to test for the coronavirus and do contact tracing."I think other countries really, really need to step up and learn the lessons that are being learned in Italy right now. We have to push this virus back. It's not just enough to do social distancing.
And contact tracing and isolation of cases is still a strategy that can be used," Ryan said."If you don't test people, you don't know they're positive. Therefore, they may be positive and you don't have time to contact trace them because you don't know they have it," Cooper said."It's really important we identify all confirmed cases. We need to test suspected cases. We need those cases to be isolated, and it is difficult in a very intense environment.
