>> NANCY MESSONNIER: Good afternoon and thank you for joining us today.

I'm happy to take a few minutes to go through an update, and then I

CDC is responding aggressively to the global outbreak of COVID-19.

This is historic, unprecedented outbreak.

We really haven't seen anything like this since perhaps the pandemic of

Globally, there are somewhere up to 80,000 cases across 169 WHO member

countries, and unfortunately more than 3,000 deaths.

In the United States, there are about 10,000 cases with more cases

really every day, 3,000 new cases since yesterday.

Every state in the United States has been impacted as well as the

District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands and

there have been 150 COVID deaths reported so far.

We should expect these numbers to go up over the next few days as we are

really in an acceleration phase, says but different parts of the country

have been impacted differently.  Some states are well into their

outbreaks where other states are really just beginning.

CDC is adapting some of our existing surveillance systems to better

track COVID-19, and you'll be seeing more information on our website.

We do know that the virus is capable of spreading easily and sustainably

And we also know that older people and people with severe chronic

conditions are at higher risk for serious COVID-19 illness, and so we're

asking them to take special precautions, and we're asking everyone to

take special precautions to protect them.

I know that everybody wants to know how long this outbreak will last.

What we do know is that if we act together and act now, we can bend the

curve of the epidemic so that less people are impacted, and so that our

health system, health sector has more time to catch up.

The duration of the outbreak depends on many factors.

It depends on how well we do at social distancing and travel

It does depend a little bit on what is happening with sustained

transmission in other countries.  It is a new virus.

We know some things about it from research here and some things about it

from other countries, and we know about similar viruses, but we have

some details that we don't specifically know yet.  For example, the

duration of immunity after infection and all the details about

There are upwards of 50 modelers across the United States working on

these kind of questions, and we have a lot of data that we're looking at

to try to make these predictions which I know we all want.

And we are at a phase where we really need everyone to come together to

On March 16th, the White House Coronavirus Task Force and the President

issued new guidelines to help protect Americans.

This is called the 15 days to slow the spread.

It lays out guidelines for a nationwide effort to slow the spread, and

it calls for implementation of measures to increase social distancing

This is a massive proactive preventive response to COVID-19 to slow the

spread and blunt the impact of the disease on the United States.

But in order to do this, we need everyone's help to pitch in, everyone

across all of our communities has a role to play.

We're asking people all across the country to stay home as much as

possible and practice social distancing, which means that we're

decreasing the opportunity to transmit between people.

This includes canceling of postponing gatherings of more than ten people

and closing schools in some areas as determined by local and state

We've asked about -- we've been asked about guidelines for working

outside, and the guidance remains the same.

That's about two arms' lengths, and cause and sneeze into your arm

because you don't want to expose other people to your coughs and

You need to know that there is no vaccine currently to protect against

COVID-19, and scientists are working as fast as they can.

Even with that, it likely will be a year before we have a vaccine that

And there aren't any approved medications to treat it yet.

There are a whole bunch of treatments being investigated, and the

President announced earlier today with FDA, the rapid speed-up of all of

those treatments, and we hope that we'll have specific treatments soon.

But those things are not yet widely available, and so we need to make

sure that our clinicians have all the information they need to treat

We do know, though, that right now the best, most effective thing that

It actually sounds to some people mundane, that is stay home, but in

fact, there's a bunch of scientific research on this with more than 20

different published articles that talk about what -- how effective

social distancing can be in combination with other measures, and we know

that social distancing works better when it's implemented in concert

We're calling these 15 days a pause, a chance to reset, but it really

won't -- will only be effective if every community across the United

Now, we do have a lot of guidance on our website, and now we're really

working on tools to help with implementing and translating that
