JOINING US, FORMER SENIOR ADVISOR AT CHS AND A REGISTERED
NURSE.
NURSE. CONGRESSWOMAN, CAN YOU JUST GIVE
US THE FACTS AND I REALLY WANT
TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT GOING WITH
HIS HUNCHES AND DISPUTING THE
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION AND
THE CDC.
THE CDC. >> SO, THE FACTS ARE CLEAR THAT
RIGHT NOW THE RISKS TO THE
AVERAGE AMERICAN IN OUR COUNTRY
REMAINS LOW.
REMAINS LOW. BUT THERE ARE ACTIONS WE CAN
TAKE RIGHT NOW TO PROTECT
OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES.
THEY’RE PRETTY BASIC LIKE
WASHING OUR HANDS, MAKING SURE
WE’RE SANITIZING OUR HANDS AND
COMMONLY TOUCHED SURFACES.
MAKING SURE WE GET A FLU SHOT
BECAUSE IT’S STILL CIRCULATING
IN OUR COMMUNITIES RIGHT NOW.
IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE TAKE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT TRUSTED
SOURCES OF PUBLIC HEALTH
INFORMATION LIKE THEIR LOCAL
PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND
PREVENTION.
PREVENTION. >> IS THERE ANY DANGER OR DO YOU
THINK ONCE YOU’VE TOLD 16,000
LIES, PEOPLE TAKE IT WITH A
GRAIN OF SALT?
IS THERE DANGER IN DONALD TRUMP
GOING ON FOX NEWS AND TELLING
THE NETWORKS VIEWERS THAT GO TO
WORK, I DON’T BELIEVE THE W.H.O.
AND I DISAGREE WITH TONY FAUCI.
>> IT’S CERTAINLY NOT HELPFUL.
RIGHT NOW WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO PREPARE
AND NOT PANIC.
I’VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH MY LOCAL
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS MAKING
SURE THEIR PRIORITIES ARE
REFLOEKTEDRE
REFLOEKTEDRE RELELKTED IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL WE
PASSED ON CAPITOL HILL.
WE HAVE TO OFFER FACTS AND A
REASSURING MESSAGE TO SAY EVEN
AS AN ELECTED OFFICIALS MYSELF,
I’M CONSULTING WITH THE EXPERTS
AT THE CDC AND MAKING SURE TO
RELAY THAT INFORMATION TO MY
COMMUNITY AT HOME.
>> CONGRESSWOMAN, THIS STORY
EXISTS FOR MOST AMERICANS
PARALLEL TO THE DEMOCRATIC
PRIMARY CONTEST, WHICH IS
GETTING PRETTY INTENSE AT THIS
POINT.
POINT. ANY THOUGHTS ON THE RESULTS OF
SUPER TUESDAY AND HAVE YOU MADE
AN ENDORSEMENT?
AN ENDORSEMENT? >> I’VE NOT MADE AN ENDORSEMENT.
I’M CONTINUING TO TRACK THE
ELECTION CLOSELY.
ELECTION CLOSELY. OUR PRIMARY IS IN TWO WEEKS.
SO, OUR VOTE IS GOING TO MATTER,
WHICH IS EXCITING FOR THE
CONSTITUENTS I REPRESENT.
I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE TO HEAD OUT AND
VOTE.
VOTE. THIS IS NOT JUST A VOTE FOR
WHO’S THE COMMANDER AND CHIEF
AND WHO’S THE PRESIDENT BUT WHO
IS GOING TO LEAVE OUR COUNTRY
FORWARD IN TIMES LIKE THESE.
SO, I’M CERTAINLY GOING TO KEEP
IT IND MIND WHEN I HEAD TO THE
POLLS.
POLLS. >> THANK YOU FOR SPENDING TIME
WITH US.
WITH US. WE SEPARATE THINGS OUT, RIGHT?
WE COVER THESE STORIES AND
SEPARATE THEM OUT.
I FEEL THE SAME ABOUT
IMPEACHMENT.
IMPEACHMENT. I THINK VOTERS ARE FOEGOING TO T
POLLS THINKING -- AND WE’RE
LUCKY THERE IS A LOW RISK FOR
CONTRACTING THIS DISEASE AND A
LOWER RISK OF IT BEING LIFE
THREATENING.
THREATENING. THERE IS SOMETHING IN THAT
TURNOUT, IN THE LINES WE ARE SAW
TUESDAY NIGHT THAT WHEN THE
STUFF GETS REAL, MAYBE WE DON’T
REALLY WANT HIM THERE.
AND TO ME, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
ELECTABILITY AND YOU LOOK AT THE
CRISIS, IT DOES SEEM TO BE
INTERMINGLED IN WAYS THE POLLS
AND COVERAGE DOESN’T ALWAYS
REFLECT.
REFLECT. >> I THINK THAT’S TRUE AND EVEN
IN WAYS IT DOESN’T REFLECT.
WE’VE BEEN HEARING HEALTH CARE
IS THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN OF
VOTERS BECAUSE THAT EFFECTS
THEM.
THEM. TAVL
TAVL THEY’VE BEEN SICK, THEIR
CHILDREN HAVE BEEN SICK.
SO, THESE ARE VERY REAL THINGS,
TANGIBLE THINGS.
TANGIBLE THINGS. WE CAN TALK ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY
AND TWEETS.
AND TWEETS. AND SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE
THIS VIRUS, WHICH, YES, EVEN IF
THE RISK IS LOW, THE IMPACT
ISN’T.
ISN’T. SCARY TO KNOW THERE IS AN
OUTBREAK AND THEY’RE ALSO --
