LOU DOBBS (HOST): What is going on with Dr. Fauci talking in one direction, Dr. Birx talking the opposite, and why is he talking in direct opposition to the president he is ostensibly serving?
DR. MARC SIEGEL: He should not be. He's there to serve the president, and he's not -- he's more of a virologist than a public health official, but if he's going to look at the larger picture, you already said what the larger picture is. Look at all of the medical care that is not occurring right now. No prevention. People are afraid to go into emergency rooms. Lou, much worse in April than in March, by the way. Four out of five people in March were afraid to go to ERs, I can't convince anybody to go to an emergency room. A 90-year-old last week with an acute gallbladder attack, I was begging him to go to the emergency room. Heart attacks, afraid to go to the emergency room. The whole health care system in tremendous disarray. We have to look at the larger picture here, and the larger picture is what impact is it having overall. The virus, we're starting to get some control over.
