Dr. Deborah Birx: Media Has ‘Frightened The American People’ With Salacious Coronavirus Numbers

“But I can tell you if you go back and look at Wuhan and Hubei and all of these provinces, when they talk about 60,000 people being infected, even if you said, alright, well there’s asymptomatics and all of that, so you get to 600,000 people out of 80 million,” Birx added. “That is nowhere close to the numbers that you see people putting out there. I think it has frightened the American people.”

CNN refused to air Birx speaking during the press conference and repeatedly cut away when she and Vice President Mike Pence spoke.
