What did you think of Dr. Birx bit tonight?

[LAS14]

On the one hand, I was relieved to hear that the federal government is doing SOMETHING to help out in this crisis. That is, identifying sources of various kinds of equipment and sending it to governors. On the other hand, her whole presentation was marked by being under a time pressure. She kept saying "I'll keep this short." And as her slides were being shown she would say "next slide" immediately after one was shown.

I got the distinct impression that Trump didn't want the country to know that anything was being done. Or maybe it was just that she and Fauci are under a strict time limit.

This is so awful. I feel like I'm living in Russia!

1. she said the tests are not always reliable

that stood out.

2. That has been in the news this last 2 or 3 days but glad she reinforced it.

5. Took that another way

I thought she was helping them say why test, you can't trust the tests. Maybe I have a suspicious mind but I take nothing any of them say at face value. I'm betting in a day or two they'll say the testing isn't conclusive so let's go back to work while we look for a better one.

6. I understand where you are coming from. As far as Brix goes--she is sitting on a fence and knows

if she says too much she will disappear. Maybe she figures ---ike I assume dr. F. does --that she is better on the inside-as she can get a few good things in. I facilitate about that sitting on the fence.

3. It does appear they are adjusting their message ...

....to react to the critics. Even trump mostly seemed cooperative, and almost made it to the end of questioning without finding someone to blame.
There was certainly more of a sense of cooperation as one team instead of divisive rhetoric.

4. I call her Colonel Birx.

She is retired military and acts like it.........won't stand up to the CIC.
