Trump Task Force Member <br />Dr. Birx Says Pandemic <br />Has Entered New Phase Dr. Deborah Birx made the warnings <br />during a Sunday interview <br />on CNN's 'State of the Union.' Dr. Deborah Birx , <br />via CNN Dr. Deborah Birx, <br />via CNN Birx went so far as to suggest <br />that some Americans who live in <br />multi-general households <br />should wear masks at home. Saying that she "saw all of America moving," <br />Birx also suggested that Americans <br />who have traveled for vacations <br />should "assume you're infected." Birx affirmed the possibility of <br />a doubling of the U.S. death toll by <br />the end of the year to 300,000, <br />saying "anything is possible." She also contradicted the <br />Trump administration's push to reopen schools, <br />saying students should "distance-learn at this moment" in regions with active spread. The Trump administration has offered <br />no new guidance, nor does there seem <br />to be a federal effort to institute massive testing <br />or contract tracing for the virus.
