Dr. Ben Carson spoke with Sean Hannity Thursday night on the country’s ongoing efforts to help fight the Coronavirus; saying each American has a “significant role to play” in saving lives during the outbreak.
“Dr. Carson, let’s talk specifically about the mitigation efforts, the testing, masks… Do you feel we’ll have enough as we need it?” asked Hannity.
“We have ramped up incredibly fast, recognizing no one anticipated we’re going to be having this kind of pandemic in the country,” said Dr. Carson. “FEMA has been called to lead the effort, we’ve used the incredible resources of the military.”
“The message that’s so important is that each one of us can play a significant role in helping to bend that curve down,” he added.

Biden made similar comments in an interview earlier this week.
“In order to avoid those very high numbers we have to do several things. One: We have to depend on what the President is going to do right now. First of all, he has to, tell, wait for all the cases before anything happens. Look, the whole idea is he has to get in place things we’re shortages of,” said Biden.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo weighed-in on the ongoing Coronavirus crisis Tuesday; saying “disinformation is dangerous” during a global pandemic as the Trump administration works to slow the spread of the disease.
“Every morning I wake up and I read the data set from across the world… We’ve had one of our team members pass away from this, we’ve had 3,000 Americans die. This data set matters. The ability to trust the data is everything,” said Secretary Pompeo.
“This is the reason disinformation is dangerous… I would urge every nation: Do your best to collect the data, do your best to share that information,” he added. “We’re doing that. We’re collecting and sharing.”
