"We're heading into a more difficult season. We're heading into the fall and the winter, when we would expect a respiratory pathogen like a coronavirus to start spreading more aggressively than it would in the summer time," Gottlieb told CBS anchor John Dickerson. "Looking at Memorial Day, we had about 40,000 people hospitalized, we were diagnosing about 21,000 new cases a day, and we had about 1100 deaths," Gottlieb added."As of yesterday, we had about 35,000 people hospitalized. We're diagnosing about 40,000 infections a day. On a seven-day moving average, we have about 850 tragic deaths a day. So that's a lot of infection to be taking into a season when we know a respiratory pathogen is going to want to spread more aggressively.
