>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK.
WE'RE HERE WITH DR. SANJAY GUPTA.
ALL THE CONTENDERS -- MAJOR PARTY CONTENDERS FOR THE 2020
ELECTION ARE OVER 70, EVEN ELIZABETH WARREN WHO JUST
DROPPED OUT IS 70 HERSELF.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: SHOULD THEY CONTINUE TO CAMPAIGN?
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A DIFFERENT
CAMPAIGN IF THEY WANT TO BE AS HONEST ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
THIS COUNTRY AS POSSIBLE.
>> Stephen: LOOKS LIKE BERNIE AND BIDEN HAVE CANCEL THEIR
RALLIES.
>> CANCELED RALLIES.
>> Stephen: CANCELED THE AUDIENCE FOR THE DEBATE, WHICH
IS ON CNN.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THE PRESIDENT HAS HUGE RALLIES.
>> LOOK, I KNOW HE'S GETTING GUIDANCE FROM REALLY GOOD PEOPLE
AROUND HIM.
I KNOW THESE PEOPLE, THEY TALK TO ME, SOME OF THEM ARE MY
SOURCES, I TALK TO THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS.
HE'S AT LEAST BEING TOLD THE DEAL WITH THIS.
I MEAN, WITH RALLIES, YOU CAN'T SOCIAL DISTANCE PEOPLE.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE RIGHT UP ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.
THEY COULD SPREAD THE VIRUS.
EVEN IF THEY DON'T, SOMEBODY TESTS POSITIVE, ARE YOU GOING TO
BASICALLY GO BACK AND TRY TO QUARANTINE LARGE GROUPS OF
PEOPLE?
PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER THE PLAY, AND THEN THEY GO BACK TO
THEIR HOMETOWNS, HOW DO YOU -- TO CONTACT TRACE, TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE THIS VIRUS WENT, HOW IT SPREAD, IT'S SUCH A HUGE BURDEN
ON THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM.
IT IS A BURDEN ON THE PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM TO HAVE RALLIES
BECAUSE OF THAT.
IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, A POSSIBLE MEDICAL ISSUE, THAT'S
THE BIGGEST ISSUE.
BUT THINK ABOUT ALL THE WORK THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE IF
JUST ONE PERSON, THEN, TESTED POSITIVE.
IT'S A REAL ISSUE.
AGAIN, I KNOW PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE PRESIDENT AND
WITHIN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ARE TELLING HIM THIS.
>> Stephen: BEFORE WE GO, CAN I GIVE YOU A TASTE OF THAT?
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND IS THIS ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE?
>> YEAH, HAND SANITIZER, GOOD 60% ALCOHOL, WHICH THAT STUFF
DOES, I'VE CHECKED.
SOAP AND WATER REALLY GOOD.
>> Stephen: BUT A GOOD SCRUB.
20 SECONDS.
>> Stephen: 20 SECONDS.
YOU KNOW WHAT, SO I DO THIS, AND YOU'VE REALLY GOT TO GET IN
THERE LIKE THAT, AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE.
WHEN YOU'RE A SURGEON, YOU GET UP TO YOUR WRISTS AND FOREARMS,
TOO.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT HERE.
DON'T FORGET THE THUMBS.
20 SECONDS IS A LOT LONGER THAN YOU THINK.
I TRAVEL A LOT, AND I'M IN THE TERMINAL REST ROOMS, AND I'VE
NEVER SEEN SO MANY GUYS BEING SO DILIGENT AND WASHING THEIR
HANDS.
SO THAT'S GOOD.
IF NOTHING ELSE GOOD COMES FROM THIS, WE ARE CLEANING THAN EVER.
>> Stephen: REMEMBER, INTERLACE YOUR FINGERS WHEN YOU
WASH, EVERYBODY.
HERE'S THE CHURCH, HERE'S THE STEEPLE, THE ENTIRE CONGREGATION
IS EXTREMELY NERVOUS.
( LAUGHTER ) >> VERY GOOD.
>> Stephen: DOCTOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
>> Stephen: "CORONAVIRUS: FACT VS. FICTION" IS AVAILABLE DAILY
ONLINE.
DR. SANJAY GUPTA, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
