National coordinator of coronavirus response charms the press.
By Jennifer Harper - The Washington Times - Wednesday, March 25, 2020
One member of the White House coronavirus task force is warranting very positive coverage from a wide range of news organizations.
Tasked with coordinating the national response to the pandemic, Dr. Deborah Birx has maintained a helpful, steadfast public presence during daily media appearances before a national audience.
The press has taken notice. Both CNN and The Guardian called her a global health “legend” while the New York Times described Dr. Birx as “tough and disciplined” and busy “running what amounts to a coronavirus war room from the vice president’s office.”
Fox News characterized Dr. Birx as a “world-renowned medical expert”; Politico cited her “bipartisan credibility” as a clear asset.
Indeed, Dr. Birx served two decades the U.S. Army as a physician. During the Obama administration, she was appointed national coordinator for HIV/AIDS response in 2014, and also became U.S. State Department’s social representative for global health diplomacy.
“Despite her Obama-era appointment, Birx is a Republican and could be characterized as a conservative,” Politico said.
Dr. Brix has also won accolades for her fashion choices from multiple news organizations which praised her subdued but stylish and feminine wardrobe choices for daily TV appearances.
“Birx has brought her special brand of sartorial serenity and strength to the country,” reported The New York Post, noting the physician’s trademark scarves and her lack of angular suits and “unimaginitive” dresses.
“She clearly hasn’t bothered with the power-dressing manual. She’s unknowingly writing her own,” the Post said.

I like her a lot. She rightfully points out that there is no need for panic and doesn’t seem to revel in media coverage like Fauci does.
She sticks to the facts. Does not inject personal biases as Fauci does at times.
I like her. Fauci looks sleezy. A showman like P.T. Barnum.
The lady does have a great sense of style.
She is a rock star and very relatable. Her grandma story last night really connected.
Missed it. What about grandma?
Exactly.
She seems competent and has great scarves. Game over.
It’s interesting that the supposedly exist Trump has no issue at all putting women in important positions and giving them real authority.
That was straight to the heart of the matter. So touching. She explained that her grandmother contracted the Spanish flu and gave it to what would be her great-grandmother who had just given birth to one of her grandmother’s siblings. Dr bricks great-grandmother succumb to the Spanish flu and her grandmother never got over that and was never able to forgive herself. The point of her story was to let young people know that they need to take social distancing and quarantine seriously so as to not endanger those who are at greater risk. In other news, I actually am headed down to my treating physicians parking lot for a drive-by test as they think I might have Covid. Very mild symptoms but meet all of the criteria so just doing it to be cautious. So glad I can do a drive-by and not have to go in when I’m feeling kind of cruddy.
Her gramma passed after her her young daughter passed flu to her
she appeals directly to that the suburban soccer moms and older women...
part of the reason why ratings for Trump’s pressers are so high, and bad news for the Dems.
Deborah Birx seems like the real deal.
Unlike that blame-passing, refuse-to-answer bureaucrat Seema Verma who stands on the stage with the other officials. Remember her? She turned somersaults to not admit on FOX that there could potentially be ventilator shortages.
She hasn’t been speaking on any shows lately.
And if you listen to her she will give you the straight facts about what you should and should not be concerned about. I have learned much from listening to her.
Spanish flu. Just watched the video. Compelling.
She needs no prompter, and is outstanding! Trump should bring her into an important position in his administration for the next four years!
Who the heck cares what she wears?
The media is hyping this virus and the deaths and now they’re critiquing her clothing styles?
Idiots........
Fauxi is a passive aggressive obstruction to known cures and appears in to be in the pocket of Big Pharma. We’ve had enough “trials” from several foreign countries.
Knowing Birx’ past connections to be corruption in the Ukraine, I remain suspect but am encouraged by what I see.
She is relatable.
