Taper asked Admiral Brett Giroir: “When President Trump holds a rally and there’s no need for a mask and no social distance, is that an example when you talk about everyone needing their share to bring down the numbers?”
U.S. Citing the large number of coronavirus deaths in, Taper added, “How is this not a failure and how is President Trump leading us right out of it in your own words?”
Giroire said on Sunday that people “should be empowered to know that they can slow the spread and change course. The things they will talk about, wearing masks, can save lives.”
“Biology is independent of politics,” Gerrier told Tapper, without directly commenting on the president’s behavior at rallies.
“If you can’t physically distance, all the DX, all the public health experts, we all really agree that when you can’t physically distance, avoid the crowded space inside the house, wash your hands, join Smart, mask, It’s important to wear. ”The test,” he said.
Taper again pressed Giroir: “President Trump is holding these rallies. People are not wearing masks. Probably these are super spreader events.”
“So, again, I have to repeat what I said. Biology is independent of politics,” Giroire replied.
“Don’t tell me, tell President Trump,” Tapper said.
On Sunday, Gerrier told CNN that wearing a mask is a “decisive step” to stop the spread of the coronavirus, and that government officials have a responsibility to help people understand that.
“We always encourage wearing a mask, because it’s so important – it’s an important step to prevent the spread,” Girier said. “And we want people to understand that. This needs to be echoed locally, from the state, from the public, and certainly all of us on the task force want to make sure that every week we supply the governors a lot. How to slow down the spread Those are specific recommendations at the county level. “
He added, “But for now, prevention is definitely the most important step of wearing a mask, avoiding crowds, especially indoor spaces, is very important, and hygiene is what we need to stick to.”
