The "patchwork" efforts by the U.S. to curb the spread of the coronavirus are not enough, former Obama White House health policy advisor Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel told CNBC on Thursday.
However, the U.S. federal government has only issued advisories, and not mandatory nation-wide mitigation measures.The "patchwork" efforts by local and state officials across the U.S. to curb the spread of the coronavirus are not enough, former Obama White House health policy advisor Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel told CNBC on Thursday.
"If we don't have a full national lockdown ... You are going to have these rollercoasters. You contain it in some area.
"If we don't do a national implementation, we will not be able to get the economy going. It'll be in fits and starts and it will not solve the problem," Emanuel said. "We have to have a coordinated national effort. This patchwork, which I've been decrying for three weeks now, is actually undermining the efforts of states that are imposing the stay-at-home orders, the quarantines.
