Former FDA chief Dr. Scott Gottlieb on Dr. Anthony Fauci's congressional testimony

Infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci testified to Congress on Tuesday, warning about potentially negative consequences of reopening the economy too soon. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, member of the boards of Pfizer and biotech company Illumina and former FDA commissioner, joins "Squawk Box" to discuss. Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Wednesday he believes U.S. colleges could welcome students to campus in the fall, even as the coronavirus brings uncertainty about the next academic year. “I think we’ll be in a position where we’re going to give a try at opening schools, opening residential college campuses in the fall because I’m hopeful that coming off of July and August, we’re going to see some declines in cases in the summer,” the former FDA commissioner said on “Squawk Box.” “I think there will be a seasonal effect here.” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, warned on Tuesday that colleges and universities should not bank on a vaccine or effective therapeutics for Covid-19 being available by the fall. “The idea of having treatments available, or a vaccine, to facilitate the reentry of students into the fall term would be something of a bit of a bridge too far,” Fauci said at a Senate hearing. Higher education institutions across the U.S. shifted this spring from in-person classes to online instruction as the threat of the coronavirus outbreak grew. But there is now significant focus on how — or whether — in-person classes can safely resume in the coming months. University leaders across the U.S. have told CNBC that testing capacity and robust contact tracing plans will be critical in bringing students back to campus. Even then, many have cautioned that large, in-person lectures are unlikely to be part of the academic plan. On Tuesday, the 23-campus California State University System announced that most classes for the fall semester will be held online, with some exceptions for research labs.
