In-depth coronavirus interview with Sec. Azar, Surgeon General Adams, Dr. Birx | NewsNation Now

Experts have warned about a second wave of coronavirus cases in the fall.

NewsNation sat down at the White House for an in-depth interview with three of the top officials on the front lines of America’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic: Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Surgeon General Jerome Adams.

NewsNation Marni Hughes conducted the interview from the White House Complex.

This is the first time these top health three health leaders fighting the coronavirus pandemic have sat down for an interview together.

“We are getting mixed messages and I would like to leave the politics out of this because I think the American people want to hear from each of you on the science, on your medical backgrounds, on your experience,” Hughes said at the beginning of the interview. “With that said, the president has said ‘the virus is going away,’ we recently have seen back-and-forth between the president and your colleague Dr. Fauci, Dr. (Scott) Atlas has also spoken, he is a member of the task force, about conflicting signals about wearing masks. The CDC guidelines have also changed in recent weeks.”

“At the end of the day, the American people just want to know what’s going on and who are we supposed to listen to?”
