Birx told CNN that projections for a death toll by the year's end depend on how states accelerate and maintain their mitigation efforts, particularly in the South and West.
Birx emphasized that unlike the series of outbreaks in metro areas earlier this year, the virus is prevalent in both urban and rural areas. She said people in rural communities are"not immune or protected" from it. She deferred to CDC guidance about school reopenings, though she said areas with high caseloads and active community spread should"distance learn at this moment so we can get this epidemic under control."House Speaker Nancy Pelosion Sunday, accusing her and the president of spreading disinformation and saying she lacked confidence in Birx.New York Timesthat characterized her as delivering misleadingly optimistic reports about the spread of the virus.
In response to a question about whether the federal government should"reset" its approach, Birx said she believed it did so about five or six weeks ago, as cases exploded in the South, by shifting to a local framework.
“It’s the year 2034 and Dr. Birx now says you can get Covid19 just by going outside and breathing fresh air “
ncpr It's been in Rural areas for months Where do you think all the Urbanites fled to when it surged in the cities
We know, we have been telling you! DrBrix
Reporting in this, normalizes it
I wonder how that happened 🙄
Yes be afraid everyone they are counting on you
I lost my faith in this woman when she sat by and let Trump extol the effects of hydroxychloroquine, knowing full well what science was saying. She should have made him wear a mask or resigned on principle.
Dr Scarf got a clue finally?
We are where people with a brain said we would be, thanks to ignorant whacko antimaskers and science denying governors who reopened too soon or didn’t shut down at all.
Shes a political hack responsible for the deaths of 10s of thousand
Does realDrBirx know that she is causing it partially by kissing trump’s butt? I also wonder who are allowed to follow her Twitter account and what she is telling those limited people.
You were on the Coronavirus team and didn’t do nothing but agree with Trump. Now you want to speak.
Dr Scarf Lady, thanks to you we are where we are partly because of you
Absolute nonsense. This entire dramatic exaggeration of what amounts to a moderate influenza is being used by Democrats to destroy the economy in order to push their lackluster candidate over the finish line. The Swedish were right. The lockdowns are unconstitutional.
Sturgis starts on Friday. Spreading covid-19 far and wide all over the country.
In other words it’s hitting red states now.
not a new phase .... you have done nothing to prevent the exponential build up of cases.
Is 'new phase' a euphemism for 'We all gonna die'?
TrumpHasNoPlan TrumpVirusDeathToll156K
Many many people have said that this is the predictable phase
Now say ot with trump standing behind you.
npr faithfully reporting this as 'news' when people have been shouting this from the rooftops since march
An idiot could have predicted that Covid would spread to urban areas!
They really want ppl to die in droves!
I think we knew that months ago.
What does Dr. Fauci say about that? I bet he’d say we’re still in the initial phase. He’s who I trust.
JesseJa22909147 Where the hell did they expect this to travel? The mall and then home into the storage bin? Its a fucking HIGHLY COMMUNICABLE DISEASE. MasksOn MaskUpAlaska and FuckTrump
Well maybe you should stop provoking the protests NPR 🤷♂️ god knows what the Wuhan flu has done to all of these people long term.
NewFaze
Stay Home unless you’re out rioting or protesting.
Another of Trump's shameless sycophants jumping ship.
Huh. Brilliant observation.
Too bad Trump & VP don’t notice.
Fear is control.
She's useless.
My suspicion is that this 'pandemic' is permanent. What federal health officials will ever have the courage to declare that it is over? Americans, get about living your lives.
😱 OoooOOoo. What a huge biggily beautiful surprise. Seriously? Fucking do something, Debra! Do your damn job or else you are equally culpable for the damage. How dare you.
The end fase and her 15 minutes are over.
No one has been actually listening to her for months...
The scarf lady tells us all something we already know fuckingmoron she is trumpsycophant
Nobody listens to Bird since she played dumb to the trump lying sideshow.
Birx can go and take a long walk off a short pier.
PaulDereume I'm sorry. But this 'doctor' is a complete idiot.
So it’s now impacting Trump voters. Will the White House care now?
I guess the fact that recreational vehicles sales are skyrocketing mount effect this and the spread across state lines.
Will this ever end?
PaulDereume It spread? Knock me over with a fester. 💡💡💡
stay home unless you are partaking in massive blm riots
Stay Home? The LA Times is running articles to visit Mexico and Canada, lol, yeah right.
realDrBirx We are in the same phase of the virus we've always been - it's called the 'Captain Clorox fucks America phase!' You are complicit...
But let's send the kids back to school...
magats dying in redstates GOPenablers better wake up
Covid, it's not just for blue states anymore.
So...worse...
She's a little late. We already knew that.
158,000+ Americans lost to Covid-19. 8 US Marines missing & presumed dead in a CA training accident. 30M unemployed Americans with no safety net. Tens of thousands waiting in 7+ hour food pantry lines. And this POS is at his VA club to golf for the 2nd day in a row. Tick-Tock MF.
*sigh* The outbreak in Italy began in a string of rural areas. You'd think she would know that.
Brix is a🐀💩
Lol all the liberals who were trying to sack Birx 6 weeks ago suddenly love her again. 🤣😂
Fauci said this day one.
She has lost her credibility
