'Viruses don't care about politics and they don't care about location,' Johns Hopkins University Dr. Marty Makary said.

"What happened in Wuhan could happen here. Why do we think otherwise?" Makary said on "The city of 11 million people was locked down on an unprecedented scale during the height of the outbreak.according to figures from the Chinese government"The American immune system is not stronger than the Chinese immune system," said Makary, a surgeon and professor of health policy and management. "Viruses don't care about politics and they don't care about location.

"We've got to brace for a three-month problem," said Makary, author of "The Price We Pay: What Broke American Health Care — and How to Fix It." Makary urged the U.S. should take the disease more seriously, saying he's was worried about the capacity of the nation's health care system to handle a serious spike in cases.

America has about 100,000 intensive care unit beds that "operate at full capacity or near full capacity," he said. "If we get 200,000 critical care cases, we're going to be overrun," he warned "So we need to do more."
