Assistant Secretary of Health Brett Giroir on Monday agreed with White House coronavirus response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx about the “peak week” ahead for COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths.
When asked during an interview on the “TODAY Show” about Birx advising against going to the grocery store or even the pharmacy during a White House briefing on Saturday, Giroir said she is “absolutely right.”
“We’re all saying the same thing,” Giroir said. “It’s that you really need to keep your physical contact with others and surfaces to the minimal possible.”
Giroir quickly pointed out that he does not mean that people should go without medications, but that they should limit their visits to grocery stores and pharmacies.
“If you need to go to the pharmacy to get your medications, if you need to get groceries — do it,” Giroir said. “But don’t go every day to the grocery store like many people do. Do it as infrequently as possible.”
Giroir added that it’s best “do the kind of take-out things” to limit the risk of contracting the coronavirus.
“Anything you can do to protect yourself to avoid yourself from getting this virus and being in the hospital for a month or potentially facing death — I think it’s advised to do that,” Giroir said.

Well that’s going to require behavior modification of the highest order.
So this is “peak week,” is it? I fear this will turn out to be the horror movie equivalent of infrastructure week. July 2020: “Well, we actually meant peak three months.”
Did Giroir clear his advice - not to go to the grocery store everyday - with the Trump Regime? You know…they could fire, demote or gag him if he tells the truth!
ICYMI:
Covid Super Spreaders in SK - a Patient 31 infected 1160 people while a church infected 5,016 people. One would think one can commune with their gods individually!
But we’ll be able to go by Easter, right?
The hoax virus orchestrated by Hillary will have magically disappeared.
I guess it’s news that 2 members of the administration agree on something sensible, but I’m not really sure why this is a story.
