DETROIT Dr. Anthony Fauci testified before the House about the countrys response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, he spoke about a possible timeline for a vaccine, including whether that could be by the end of this year. They said they plan to do more testing to help identify asymptomatic people who are spreading the coronavirus. None of us have ever been told to slow down on testing, Fauci said. If we get everybody a flu vaccine, thats one less virus that could kill 20, 30, 50 thousand, 70 thousand and potentially even be a co-infection with COVID-19, Fauci said. There are multiple manufacturers, both at point of care and laboratories, who will have this test, Fauci said.
