Communities of color are not only more likely to be infected by COVID-19, but they are also more likely to be killed by the virus.

Even CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield admitted the failures of the administration to collect demographic information on COVID-19 infections and deaths.

Without those resources, I mean, what we have seen as a health care crisis, where we have had to put a lot of dollars into public health, is, of course, now also become a financial and economic crisis.

I tend to agree with you, this administration has been less than desirable in their attitude in reference to this.

We need to see a very effective treatment or a vaccine before we can get beyond this.

It is just unfortunate that the administration has taken that attitude.

We are at a critical point in responding to the coronavirus crisis that is facing our Nation.

It is unhelpful to the outbreak response for administration staff to state, as recently as last week, that the virus is contained when we know that is not true because cases are on the rise.

I want the Federal response to the coronavirus to be robust.

The American public needs to be able to trust the information coming from all levels of Government.

I am not trying to diminish anyone else's concerns, but I have to be very concerned this--you know, this is where the major attack was.

Now we are being cut back. And to me, I can't accept that.
