Dr. Marty Makary, a medical professor at Johns Hopkins University, the coronavirus is something that "people need to take seriously."

  • "we're about to experience the worst public health epidemic since polio"
  • "Don't believe the numbers when you see, even on our Johns Hopkins website, that 1,600 Americans have the virus"
  • "No, that means 1,600 got the test, tested positive. There are probably 25 to 50 people who have the virus for every one person who is confirmed"
  • "I think we have between 50,000 and half a million cases right now walking around in the United States."
