Dr. Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the White House's COVID-19 task force, said on Thursday night that she and the White House are editing the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) guide on reopening the economy after President Donald Trump's administration nixed it the first time.


"We are in deep partnership with CDC, both for the White House guidelines that were put out on how to open up America again, but also the details behind the guidelines," Birx told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.

The doctor said those recommendations are "still being worked on."

She claimed that "no one has stopped those guidelines," though a task official confirmed as much earlier on Thursday when reports of the White House shelving the CDC's guide emerged.

1. Just in the nick of time

Guess she didn't get the memo that around 30 states are already reopening.

2. She's full of it.

ETTD and Dr. Scarf is no exception.

6. She is, but did you read those guidelines?

They were nothing short of hilarious, like social distancing at day care centers and taped outlines for spacing on subway cars were two of the more hilarious ideas and most of the rest were simply unworkable. If they'd issued that report, they'd have been laughed out of funding and that would be a tragedy . It's something only a Republican could have written.

Better ideas are to keep crowded venues like theaters and sports stadiums closed and prying all those N-95 masks they're hoarding out of their grabby little hands and getting them distributed. A proper mask on a subway followed by handwashing on arrival at work will do more than that silly tape will.

3. She has zero, zip, nada self-respect or respect for science or for us.

She has sold her soul to the devil and is totally worthless human being at this point, serving to kill us instead of keep us alive. How can she even look in a mirror unless she's as criminally murderous and treacherous as her master.

5. "Still being worked on"

Translated to "The summer scarf lineup hasn't come in yet"
