Dr. Drew Pinsky once said you're more likely to die after being "hit by an asteroid" than the highly-contagious virus. On Saturday, he drastically changed his tune.
"My early comments about equating coronavirus with influenza were wrong. They were incorrect," Dr. Drew said on Saturday, referring to his consistent comments from February and March. "I was part of a chorus that was saying that, and we were wrong. And I want to apologize for that."
To date, more than a million people worldwide have tested positive for coronavirus and nearly 68,000 people have died. The United States has more coronavirus cases than any other country in world with 323,500 confirmed cases, more than doubling Spain, which has the second-most cases with 130,000.
Dr. Drew said he was correct in urging people to follow the advice of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
