Birx has said similar before, here's an excerpt from an interview given around the same time as anons clip last bread:
MARGARET BRENNAN: All right. We'll watch for that. But policy-wise, doctor, why isn't there a national strategy for both testing and tracing? Why not provide those guidelines to governors?
DR. BIRX: So we did do that through the new guidelines. So- and it clearly shows that there are three ways we want to monitor this virus community by community. The first way is really understanding E.R. visit and the symptoms associated with COVID-19. And we're tracking and tracing those every day all across the country. The second way is really understanding influenza like illness and converting that entire surveillance program and monitoring program to COVID-like illness, which we can throughout the summer months because we don't have flu.
