This is going to be a constant challenge. I don't think this goes away until we get to a vaccine. I think there's always going to be cases. I think you're going to have to see spikes in cases and flare-ups that are going to be on a regional basis. Every part of the country is vulnerable to an outbreak. And this is going to become a fact of life that we're just going to learn to live with. Five weeks have passed since President Trump issued his stay-at-home recommendations in the fight

against coronavirus. We've all been a part of this global pandemic and have played a role in lowering

the curve. It's now time to look forward and reopen the country as quickly and safely as possible.

To do this, the president formed the opening our country council and invited thought leaders

from different backgrounds and industries to come together to work out a solution to get everyone back to school and work.

We are joined today by two members of that council.

They're going to walk us through the policy and action behind the complex and urgent need to reopen the economy.

We will be talking about how to save businesses all over the country, how accurate our testing has been,

how conservatives should be thinking about the stimulus packages,

the number of asymptomatic coronavirus carriers, the deception from China,

our consequences to expect from the lockdown, and a whole lot more.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb is the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.

He's a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he and colleagues wrote the

report, National Coronavirus Response, a roadmap to reopening, which many state and federal

government officials have looked to. Dr. Gottlieb has been a leading voice on the coronavirus pandemic. He serves on Maryland Governor Larry Hogan's coronavirus response team, and he's been an advisor to the White House during this time. Now, before we get started, I just want to remind you and everybody, that we will be asking Dr. Gottlieb a few bonus questions to hear those answers. Head on over to Dailywire.com. Become a member. You can hear the rest of our conversation over there. Dr. Gottlieb, thanks so much for joining us. You've been focusing a lot for months and months and months, going all the way back to January. You were one of the first people who was actually calling for serious measures, and you really focused a lot on testing. So I wanted to ask you, because I really have some questions about what testing can accomplish. So for example, let's start with temperature tests.

There's been a lot of talk about testing. So I wanted to ask you because I really have some questions about what testing can

accomplish. So for example, let's start with temperature tests. There's been a lot of talk

about people doing temperature tests when people walk into restaurants or into their place

of business. And since we now know that COVID is actually most transmissible when asymptomatic,

are temperature tests even a useful gauge at this point?

Limited utility. I mean, you make the right point. They're limited utility. You're going to catch some people, but by and large, people are infectious even when they're asymptomatic. And there's

been some research recently published this week showing that some people or a lot of people might be
