Deborah Birx Discusses COVID-19 Response
It's interesting, by the way, we're starting to hear from other people
that were on
his team-
Who's writing a book
... right. Uh, Deborah Birx, who at one point led the-
Yeah, Deborah Birx
... coronavirus task force, weighed in yesterday.
Here's what she said.
If you get on test, y- instead of quarantining people who are
exposed, you just only tell the people who
are infected to stay
home. That is a very different approach.
It worked fabulously in universities.
It's why we were able to keep them open, and Secretary DeVos was working on
keeping K through 12 open. There were solutions, but it
became very political, and we all have to be aware.
Because it was a presidential election year, it was really
important for blue states to show that they were taking this
very seriously, and they over-closed.
Mm.
And we just have to be honest that that happened, and that's why
that discussion
from both sides of the aisle, and a resolution, and a way to go
forward is critical-
Yeah
... so that we can do this right in the
future.
Right. Uh, and she's the one person who
was caught going visiting her family when
she told everyone not to visit her family.
She's also the one that was on with me who said, "Oh,
wear goggles.
Wear two masks and consider wearing goggles." Can you believe this?
So I have no patience for her either
