Kavita Patel, a Yahoo News medical contributor and nonresident fellow at the Brookings Institution, heavily hedged her prediction in a wide-ranging interview with Yahoo News’ “Skullduggery” podcast. The situation is rapidly evolving, Patel said, and even where there are openings, some regions will be in lockdown far longer than others.
"If we get a hot spot that is unexpected or kind of a reversal in these trends, then that [prediction] changes, but that’s what I’m looking forward to,” Patel told “Skullduggery” hosts Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman.Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency room physician who previously served as the health commissioner for the city of Baltimore, joined Patel for the discussion and warned that even if some restrictions ease, Americans must be prepared to go back to a lockdown as events require.
“There’s a lot that we don’t know about what will happen in this country, and so continuing to tolerate that uncertainty is important for all of us,” Wen said. “There are a lot of unknowns because of our testing issues and also because of the demographics in our country [that] may differ from those in others.”
