Trump Testing Czar Brett Giroir Sounds the Alarm on ‘Absolutely Dangerous’ Covid Surge
EXCERPT:
GIROIR: "So I want to tell you that my role is to transmit the information as clearly as possible and I’m going to be as transparent with anyone in the Biden administration or in their task force as I am with you. We all know what the data show. The data are absolutely concerning. I lose sleep at night over where we are in the pandemic right now. But we all also know how to beat this, right? There’s a playbook that we’ve done here. The public health professionals on the Biden team know that playbook. It’s being done in the U.K., in France, to flatten their curves and we absolutely have to do it now. We are all going to be on the same page in the public health measures because there’s a clear playbook. And again, we don’t have to do this for six months, nine months a year. The vaccines are around the corner. But if we don’t institute these measures and be very rigorous at the state and local levels about limiting certain businesses, not all businesses, most businesses can stay open, K-12 can stay open, but we have to have masks, we have to limit indoor crowded spaces. If we do not do that, we will lose tens of thousands of Americans by the time the vaccine is out and widely distributed.”
