No Spike in CCP Virus in Places Reopening, Says Health Secretary
Whether it s the suicidality rates, or cardiac procedures not being received, cancer screenings, pediatric vaccinations declining, he told CNN, all of these are critical health needs that are part of reopening the economy.
During the interview, he was asked about people congregating in bars and in restaurants. Azar replied that it s the cost of freedom.
I think in any individual instance, you re going to see people doing things that are irresponsible. That s part of the freedom that we have here in America, he told CNN.
The United States has recorded more than 1.5 million cases of the virus and more than 90,000 deaths. In recent days, a number of states have announced proposals to gradually reopen.
