CNN’s Tapper: The Administration ‘Cannot Even Get Control of This Pandemic Within the White House’

‘It is worth pointing out that the White House benefits from surveillance testing and contact tracing’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “Hello, I’m Jake Tapper in Washington where the state of our union is confused. This morning there are more than 1.3 million cases of coronavirus in the U.S. And more than 78,000 Americans dead. The grim metrics come as states across the country are beginning to loosen their restrictions and President Trump is urging Americans to start resuming normal life. But the Administration, to be frank, cannot even get control of this pandemic within the White House. Late Saturday we learned three top members of the White House coronavirus task force, Dr. Redfield who heads the CDC, Dr. Hahn who heads the FDA, and Dr. Fauci, will now go into some form of quarantine after exposure to a White House staffer who tested positive. There are now two confirmed cases of COVID-19 among White House staff members. And while we wish them a speedy recovery, it is worth pointing out that the White House benefits from surveillance testing and contact tracing.”
