CHARLESTON, W.Va. __ White House coronavirus task force leader Dr. Deborah Birx says widespread coronavirus infections in urban and rural America mark a “new phase” for the pandemic as she doubled down on calls to wear face masks and observe social distancing measures.
Birx, speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning, said “What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread.”
The United States has the world’s biggest number of cases at 4.6 million, or one-quarter of the total, and 154,361 deaths. Birx said mitigation efforts across the west and the south are beginning to work but warned that people need to take the virus seriously and employ significant safety precautions when cases first begin to tick up.

She’s about four months too late. You know, back when she had an iota of credibility.
Deborah Birx is a mess. She’s been lying and painting a rosy picture to keep Skanky Turdface and the Organization happy so that she can keep feeding at the trough and get attention she desperately craves even if it is for the wrong reasons. No wonder the Republican Death Panel briefings ended being sh*tshows. There is no plan, just lying, hydroxychloroquine, disinfectant, heat, incompetence, chaos, confusion, death and despair.
Speaker Pelosi who gets a lot of background intelligence and briefing and is very careful about what she says is calling for her to be fired. Right call.
Over 150,000 dead and 3 million cases in America. More American heroes dead in 3 months than in all the wars since World War II. When will anyone be held accountable?
NOW she tells us it’s really serious? Really?
Annnnddddd now she decides to grapple with the gravity of the situation?
No more singing
“The sun will come out tomorrow!”???
Deb, it looks as though you just ate something really unpleasant tasting. That shit sandwich that’s been forced on you didn’t turn out to be what you’d been led to believe, eh?
ETA: Someone’s been toying with our emotions here - that photo is from mid-April. I guess her reaction of late isn’t fit to be shown.
