Giroir defended the White House task force, saying it has a “full, open and honest discussion” and meets three to four times a week. He said he feels “absolutely free to say something” to Vice President Pence, who heads the task force.
“Believe me, if there is a public health opinion that needs to be said, it must be that,” he said.
“So no one feels like something is being held back.” “We all take this as a serious crisis. It has to be science that drives politics. And that’s the way it is. “
Giroir told Todd that he “doesn’t think we should shut down,” “at least in most places in the country,” but requested that residents of the United States “avoid bars” and “wear a mask in public.”
Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has been warning the US in recent weeks as coronavirus cases continue to rise in certain areas of the country. Last week, the public health expert called to the states experiencing waves to pause their reopening processes.

Fauci also questioned the president’s claim that 99 percent of COVID-19 cases are “harmless”, saying “obviously not” is true.
