“I think the CDC guidelines are really right on target,” White House coronavirus testing czar Adm. Brett Giroir tells GStephanopoulos, contradicting Pres. Trump, who said that CDC guidelines for re-opening schools are too tough and too expensive.

While Trump this week said the country is in"a good place," Giroir, who serves as the assistant secretary of Health in the Department of Health and Human Services and coordinates the federal government's coronavirus testing programs, characterized the current situation as"a better place" than in April but said to expect hospitalizations and death rates to rise in the coming weeks.

"We do expect deaths to go up. If you have more cases, more hospitalizations, we do expect to see that over the next two or three weeks before this turns around," Giroir acknowledged."It's starting to turn now, but we won't reap the benefits of that for a few weeks." "Just because someone says we need 1.7 million tests a day, doesn't mean that that's true. We think we have enough test today to identify where the hotspots are," he said.When Stephanopoulos pressed the testing czar on the persistence of long wait times in hotspots, Giroir replied,"yes and no."

"There is no medical reason, except for maybe one in a million, that people can't wear a mask according to the guidelines we have," he said.

GStephanopoulos “You’re fired” 😂

GStephanopoulos And that is the last time we'll see him in front of the cameras.

GStephanopoulos Yes because protecting our children is too tough and too expensive. It’s called raising children.

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos Isn't that the same AZZHOLE who fired the captain of the ship where COVID19 was running rampant & the captain wasn't getting any help? Then they blamed him for not taking care of his men? That guy WE should listen 2 on guidelines, as he pushes blame on others 4 his actions?

GStephanopoulos As the testing czar, he's a complete failure. A 7 to 10 day wait for results, makes tracing almost impossible, and you find out results right around the time they're rushing you to the hospital.

GStephanopoulos Thank you. I hope people with a brain keep speaking up!

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos Fauci President

GStephanopoulos The CDC has been compromised by Trump. Do not believe anything the CDC puts out.

newschannelnine GStephanopoulos testing czar .... LOL Rule 1. If George’s lips are moving , he isn’t telling anything near the truth. Rule 2. ABC hasn’t been proven to be fair and unbiased with their reporting on important issues for the last 4 years. They cannot be trusted now. Rule 3. They are hacks.

GStephanopoulos Czar? Wasn’t aware we had one

GStephanopoulos He will be sacked and denigrated by next week, watch this space.

GStephanopoulos It’s almost as if realDonaldTrump & his top folks never meet with or even memo each other

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos lackey

GStephanopoulos THIS is how you trick the propaganda media to get behind your plan! Have one of your surrogates go out there and 'contradict Trump' so that the media will rally behind them.

GStephanopoulos Tell me more Dr., let us sacrifice our children so the Chosen One can win in November🤬

GStephanopoulos Fired

GStephanopoulos Some pediatrician, allegedly cares for childrens health

GStephanopoulos Would this even be posted if he thought the guidelines were too tough as the President said ifitsleftitsABC

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos You missed this story

GStephanopoulos We have had ONE CENTURY to prepare for this pandemic. Why can't everyone in the world just take the red pill?! Watch 'Dr. Greger Told Us About Coronavirus Risk In 2008' on YouTube

GStephanopoulos Will Admiral Giroir be the next one of the CV task force to get shanked by Trump for speaking the truth? POTUS seems to get rid of professionals that publicly disagree with him.

GStephanopoulos Other countries with WAY less infections....

GStephanopoulos George is contradicting Trump? Noooooooo

GStephanopoulos Contradicting statements in the trump administration What They always seemed to have it together. shitshow

“I think the CDC guidelines are really right on target,” White House coronavirus testing czar Adm. Brett Giroir tells GStephanopoulos, contradicting Pres. orange man, who said that CDC guidelines for re-opening schools are too tough and too expensive.

GStephanopoulos They know they can safely open up the schools but Dr Fauci and Dr Redfield are on the Democrats side. 99.5% survival rate and the kids are not the at risk population. This is all about the election, that is all.

GStephanopoulos I had no idea Udo Kier had a brother in the US Navy.

GStephanopoulos He'll be fired by week's end..

GStephanopoulos Trumps Administration put children in cages, do you as parents trust this Administrations word that your children will be safe to go back to school without secure guidelines?

GStephanopoulos For Heaven’s Sake! Truth is truth! They are faulting Dr Fauci for “Not supporting the President “? Trump is a liar! Fauci is a scientist! Both took an Oath. Only one is honoring theirs... 😳

GStephanopoulos Of course, we need to get our children and young people back to school, indeed. I, for one, can't wait to get back to my brick & mortar office. I get it. HOWEVER, the federal government needs to provide the resources to local school dist's to keep everyone safe if that's the case

GStephanopoulos Governor dougducey This is a Citizen's Arrest. You are charged with Involuntary Manslaughter of 2,237 Arizonans due to reckless actions as Arizona Governor in the Covid_19 crisis. You are ordered to present yourself at Phoenix Police Department Monday, July 13, 2020 at 8:00 AM

GStephanopoulos JjjTimes

GStephanopoulos The vaccine for the psychological torture that we here in the EU face, practiced by US, is getting very highly functional. Generations after generations receive it and learn. Thank you very much. We have learnt.

GStephanopoulos It's not life threatening. We have far more fatal diseases that need our focus and funding right now.

GStephanopoulos 2 of these have destroyed the American People, 2 the DNC and GOP have tried to keep from you for fear of them telling you the truth.

GStephanopoulos This will end well.

GStephanopoulos Do you trust trump when he says send your children back to school? Do you want to risk your children's lives to this Administrations word?

GStephanopoulos Uh oh, sounds like more oppo research is coming up.

GStephanopoulos How can people sell their souls like this just to appease a shitbag in the White House? It baffles me...

GStephanopoulos CDC Guidelines are “Too tough & too expensive” says Trump ? He’s telling parents to not get so concerned about the health & welfare of their children ? Just so he can falsely claim that the pandemic is under control & all stores should open now ?

GStephanopoulos Send News reporters back to the studios.

GStephanopoulos Say that to the psychopath in the WH. He’s close to yr office. Americans already know this.

GStephanopoulos Oh my, he’s a goner

GStephanopoulos Close the schools- give people UBI and a standardized curriculum. PayThePeople to flatten the curve. ExtreemTimesExtreemMeasurments

GStephanopoulos Trump couldn't care less about the kids, the parents, or the teachers. All he cares about is himself.

GStephanopoulos CDC also said they don't want their guidance to keep schools closed

GStephanopoulos

GStephanopoulos Dig deep AMERICA you will find this man was PAID to say those things.

GStephanopoulos Careful there Adm. There’s a Friday coming up the end of the week.

GStephanopoulos Trump knows more about everything, than anyone on earth!!!
