Tom Bossert says people should focus on what they can do on Memorial weekend: “Wear a mask, it’s common decency. Pray and think about those that passed in our former wars … but also those that passed in the last 3 months. 100,000 souls have been lost ...”

over Memorial Day weekend, provided precautionary measures, like social distancing, continue to be adhered to.

But with images emerging Saturday of large crowds at beaches and in public spaces, Birx was questioned by"This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz about whether that permission was premature. The doctor noted, however, that the success of reopening efforts would come down to the public's ability to heed those directions from public health experts.

That's not the American strong point, you are all doomed.

More and more, this poor woman, is on the sideline with a message no one wants to hear...

I think we should close the country and not bother to re-open. The experts are right, it's for our protection!

I’ve stopped taking her seriously.

Oh look. More fakenews by a leader in the industry

if masks work then why can't we open up

At first glance I thought this was david spade in a dress 😆

I feel bad for her talking to the press. You have to try to decipher what she's saying as not to rub the boss the wrong way

Either keep it shut down until the vaccine which is around the corner OR don’t say anything. It’s your fault for keeping these ppl hopes up like the virus is HERE and hiding. Period

The face mask doesn't have variety and colors of the scarf.

That is a lie a big lie control and manipulate the population is part of the plan next thing they will ask for our freedom

endthisstupidity

POTUS is DOOFUS.

Unfortunately, lots of “dead men walking” after this fiasco. Numbers don’t lie

It would help if there were ONE message being shared with the public that EVERYONE is expected to follow . . . including ALL government leaders.

The Country is not closing ever again!! It was a mistake to close! We don’t want the Country to be run by Birx and the CDC! We don’t even want to hear her period! We are ready to get on with our lives and not be treated like a bunch of morons that can’t take care of themselves!

Why should the public follow guidelines that federal officials don’t?

Yimu. Trump till 2020 2024

🎈Whether you want to believe it or not, the country is OPEN!!!! 🥂 🍾 🇺🇸

I can proteckt myself comrade.

Listening to Trump and Birx could cost you ,your lives!

please stop! we are all over the bullshit propaganda! fire the dr’s! they are quacks! maybe sue them for malpractice!

Is he still building “The Wall”

You would think it's only common sense And a good leader would lead by example Unfortunately the person in the Oval shows either common sense or any leadership If you disagree go get your shot of disinfectant

WILL FAIL! No WH leadership; quite the contrary! Too Many Spoiled Americans (with or without $$) can't be 'inconvenienced' for sake of selves or anyone else! They have No real comprehension or respect for Rights, Humanity, Actual Meaning of Freedom &/or Constitution & Democracy!

October-May is flu season When did we ever wipe anything down We never did You cant keep people from getting sick But more people have recovered then die So we are doing good Why do you let them trick YOU

ABC is the worst.

Dr.Birx is complicit in the deaths of thousands of Americans! Shame on you!! History WILL remember how you ignored science and bowed to a president trying to lower numbers and boost his ratings.. YOU ARE complicit!

Mask and condom free since’57

America will never close down again. Ever.

But what if the guidelines are incorrect? What if they are only partly necessary, and excessive? They are, after all, only educated guesses about how to deal with a new situation.

The country will never recover a second time

'Me Me Me, My Happiness, My Rights...' That's the era we live in. We're too spoiled, too soft, to used to getting our own way in America that we have lost the concept of community, of togetherness, of looking out for one another when it really matters.

Jesus Christ. That is a yes.

The media only hopes they can force another lockdown evil liberals

Why is she wearing a mask all of a sudden?

She is a 'mild mannered specialist for a great metropolitan task force.'

Con

Birx is a national disgrace.

I can’t breathe in mask. No

Don’t close until we’re all dead, Leslie Republicans are the one who will suffer because they don’t believe in it.

Birx needs a haircut

I do not have to set myself on fire to keep you warm. If you dont like it, stay indoors.

And the U.S. citezens rewrites the song We Are The World 'We are the U.S., We are are the srupid'

In 3 weeks people will start to understand.

Hopefully it doesn’t but probably will have to if gov doesn’t set guidelines that everyone should follow. And not you do one thing and others do something else. We need some sort of coordination. Look at Japan. They are able to contain it. We should really learn from them

Country is not closing again

Italy and Spain did a terrible job. It spooked everyone and the bad data came out because of them where the data was weighted heavily from those places.

Its going to have to get bad BEFORE a second closing this time. There's no way people are going to close back up to prevent something that hasn't happened but might happen again.

LIKE VA DEM GOV NORTHAM?! When Neurologist publicly shows he doesn’t take virus serious, personally? Shines how illegitimate he believes virus as safety threat. Leaving only possible motivation for holding state hostage,imposing draconian rules on citizens as pure politics

No, I’m not protecting anyone. I have zero obligation to do that.

WHEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND that everyone is not you? when you are going to incorporate in your models the irresponsible behavior of the population, and those who seek to infect others when they suffer from the disease.BIRX YOU LIVE IN A WRONG MATH BUBBLE get out of it once!!!!!!

And your job, ABC, only works if you consistently tells us the truth and lose the narrative aspects. And here we are.

Wow ABC you're headline contradicts what she actually said. It must suck to be such a bad reporter that you have to lie to prop up your political beliefs. FreeAmericaNow

Freedom of choice maybe. Freedom of consequence never.

Doctor I do hope you see what I was talking about. as a Doctor our work is not based of some nation. it's based on real data .Ppl are still dieing .We want to quickly forgot and move on .this is understandable.but will not be possible if ppl still have a don't care attitude

God's (sic) got you covered

Well it is not working too damn good b/c we have idiots nutt to butt on the beaches, in pools, on boardwalks and in Walmart. No masks, no concern for others safety. These petty things that divide us are going to kill us.

She and Susan Collins are very concerned

It's a Mocking-Story™ Designed to Derail your Mind.

❌42% OF THE COUNTRY ISN'T LISTENING TO THE DR'S ANY MORE! The rest of us are hoping for a vaccine!

It’s irresponsible of you Dr.Birx to not openly criticise the President for not wearing a mask. You are just mouthing words with no credibility if you don’t.

Protecting one another is all that matters. I'm your keeper

There's no way they're going to be ready in time for the 2nd wave. Let's be real, we don't have toilet paper, hand soap & clorex wipes in a majority of store, but were going to have enough stockpile for round 2 for everyone who needs it?treatments? I'll believe it when I see it.

Are they going to send you to jail if you don’t. Maybe send some police not wearing any PPE. Because if you didn’t have it before they take you to get tested I’m sure you will be positive after you get tested. No room in jail for pedos but they will gladly make room for noncrimi

Masks on pride off.

Difficult to tell if the country may need to close again? Na let's keep it open, 100k deaths ain't enough for us we need like around 1m i guess? maybe 10M idk rlly but let's keep it open!

MarthaRaddatz Hello. McFly. We have a Constitutional Right. And this is bullshit.

MarthaRaddatz The rise is still coming from nursing homes and other made up numbers.

MarthaRaddatz Leadership & leading by example start at the top. The administration is rudderless.

MarthaRaddatz I like realDrBirx. But she forgot to say directly that testing will help PUT OUT the EMBERS! Closing the country again would only ensure our demise. realDonaldTrump

MarthaRaddatz No one has made ANYTHING clear!!!

MarthaRaddatz That Brix woman is disgusting She shouldn't be spokesperson for a dog catchers convention

MarthaRaddatz IMO DeborahBirx gives information in a Who's On First way. Whatever she did previously in life, she's screwing it up now. .morningmika .JoeNBC .NicolleDWallace .SteveSchmidtSES .WillieGeist

MarthaRaddatz Nothing about the federal response has been clear.

MarthaRaddatz She’s a trump lackey. For info about this killer virus, please use another resource than trump’s toadies. This is Johns Hopkins Coronavirus resource center, w/frequently asked questions, interactive world maps updated several times daily.

MarthaRaddatz Sun’s Out Sell Out, bro.

MarthaRaddatz Please stop being fake. Case numbers are going up because more people are getting tested. People who are already infected count towards new cases every time they test positive. It’s not a person by person count. All the COVID data is juked. Trust what you see in your community.

MarthaRaddatz People who aren't taking any of this seriously have problems. It's not tied to anything constitutional, they just lack brains

MarthaRaddatz What makes me sick is reading posts about social distancing and sheltering is a “liberal” plot to make Trump look bad. Right. People are going to go hungry, risk losing their home, job, car, whatever, just to make one narcissistic oaf look bad. Please, it’s a stupid argument.

MarthaRaddatz She’s Trumps explainer in chief. No ones listening

MarthaRaddatz What abject crap is coming from Birx. I believe the CDC and she are compromised. This is the second interview where Birx sort of talks like a non-scientist, as if she can’t say the truth so she talks like she has no scientific knowledge.

Good luck with that!

Yes, many people in different states are acting reckless. The are not being responsible neighbors. They are acting in a thoughtless manner. They’re spreading the disease, they’re causing people to die and they are tanking our economy.

Why the grandiose headline?🤦

Sumtimes u feel tired u feel weak but u gotta dig down inside& say i will neva give up!!! i was diagnoised with tuberculosis n unless i toke the liver killing treatment I opted to NO treament I just completed my 1st IRONMANtri Last summer so think ppl

How ‘bout you decide after 200,000 covid deaths, honey.

Must.....do....everything...to...force.....recession to last as long as possible...

Birx admitted guidelines not working in Chicago and LA. WHY?

She is trumps lap dog. I don’t trust anything coming out of her mouth. Another trump victim.

It's over

Message from the one who predicted coronavirus. Dr. Anthony R. Fehr, Assistant Professor of Infectious Disease at the University of Kansas. He was one of about a hundred people in the country studying the coronavirus full-time.

I no longer believe her. She has sold her sole to the deniers.

Even the President refuses to wear a mask! He’s causing all these uprisings and revolts! He’s a jackass!!

Personally, I think that people who don't want to follow the guidelines might find out if it was right or wrong if cases spike all over the country. If it does & they become ill, well that's on them. I, for one, intend to continue to mask up, wear gloves & social distance for now

Lost so much respect when you sold your integrity to Trump!

What was the purpose for the lockdown? As I remember, the purpose of the lockdown was to allow the hospitals and medical professionals to gear up, gather supplies, and slow the virus down. The virus is going to spread. That’s what viruses do. You don’t stop it with a lockdown.

San Diego County is reopening and it’s fantastic

What are your qualifications again?

define all. We don’t even have 85% agreement that the earth revolves around the sun. All seems a bit much.

That is Exactly what Trump didn't want TRUMP to look like! Get it?

She is concerning.

مبروككك

Protect one another? Since when did we have some obligation to sacrifice our life’s work to protect others from an illness with over 99% survival rate?

Close the country to high risk underlying medical condition people. Leave the country open to everyone else.

she has no credibility left

The Dems and liberal media are scared out of their minds. The hate rhetoric will ramp up even worse than it has been. Desperation is setting in! I am honestly embarrassed to admit that I was a registered Democrat for eleven years

One another” is not a phrase realDonaldTrump or his cultists are familiar with

I thought that was David Spade for a split second.

Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator, pressed on Memorial Day reopening guidance“We really made it clear that during this reopening social gatherings should not be more than 10 people even if they’re outside,” Dr. Deborah Birx tells MarthaRaddatz when asked about data showing a rise in cases in some states as they begin to reopen. MarthaRaddatz The problem with social distancing is that it isn't 100% effective. So people still get infected.
