Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Monday that he believes the coronavirus will peak in the U.S. from around late April to early May, a timeline that suggests a longer crisis than some politicians are indicating.
Gottlieb, in a “Squawk Box” interview, said that the social distancing efforts should be viewed on a horizon of “six to eight weeks,” with the goal of keeping “the peak of epidemic below the point at which the health-care system gets exhausted.”
