ICU doctor warns: 'We could lose control of the virus again'

Although every state has now begun reopening its economy in one form or another, health officials are warning the public to not let their guards down against the spread of the coronavirus.

The U.S. has the highest number of coronavirus cases around the world, but the rate of infections has declined in several parts of the country as a result of social distancing restrictions.

Dr. Lakshmana Swamy, an ICU physician at Boston Medical Center, warned what could happen if people take too much of a lackadaisical approach towards the pandemic.

“What are people seeing across the country in our numbers?” Swamy said on Yahoo Finance’s The Ticker recently (video above). “They’re seeing coronavirus cases go down. That’s fantastic.”

Cases are starting to peter out around the globe and even the WHO is now suggesting that the virus could just burn out on its' own. But we still need to wait and see what these protests and things of that nature are going to bring in.

a) it was never "in control" nationwide
