Secretary General Dr. Jerome Adams appeared on “Fox News Sunday” saying that the next week will be “the hardest and the saddest week of most Americans’ lives” calling it our “our Pearl Harbor moment, our 9/11 moment” as the projected US death toll from the Coronavirus pandemic surges.
Unlike those tragedies, Dr. Adams emphasized that the direct effects of the Coronavirus will not be “localized” and that it will be happening “all over the country.” But he also stressed that the public has the “power to change the trajectory of this epidemic” by following social distancing and other public health guidelines.

On NBC’s “Meet the Press” this morning Washington Governor Jay Inslee (D) appeared and blasted President Trump by saying it is “ludicrous that we do not have a national effort” against the Coronavirus.
Then, in reference to Dr. Adam’s interview, he continued, “to say we are a backup, I mean the Surgeon General alluded to Pearl Harbor, can you imagine if Franklin Roosevelt said ‘I’ll be right behind you Connecticut, good luck building those battleships.'”

Republican former NC Governor Pat McCrory appeared after Inslee saying, “he’s been in the fog of war, making life and death decisions.” He then ripped the governor saying he doesn’t like “the blame game” and that “after Pearl Harbor occurred, the worst thing a governor could do was blame Franklin Roosevelt.”
