An orthopedic trauma surgeon on Thursday touted the National Bureau of Economic Research’s “surgical and vertical” containment plan for the United States to reopen the economy while maintaining safety during the coronavirus pandemic.
“What we’ve been doing is this horizontal containment strategy or uniform containment where we’re shutting everything down,” Dr. Manny Sethi told “Fox & Friends First.”
Sethi said that instead of implementing a “horizontal containment strategy,” which shuts everything down, the U.S. needs a more targeted approach.
“I think where we just quarantine and help those folks who are at risk and get everybody else back to work is the right move,” he added.
