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.

She is pretty awesome. She was a Colonel in the Army. Very impressive background.
The MSM will shut her out and ruin her.
“Birx is a Republican and could be characterized as a conservative”
Then I wonder why she made sure that Maria Yovonavitch got millions of dollar during impeachment.
I am impressed with the data she can rattle off from the hard drive in her head.
Both parties are knee-deep in the Ukraine.
“Her grandma story last night really connected.”
Yes. She doesn’t seem like the kind of person who shares personal info easily, and that really tugged at the heartstrings.
“Knowing Birx’ past connections to be corruption in the Ukraine, I remain suspect “
That’s where I am. Too close to Yovanovitch. They even have a similar “aura”. But so far she hasn’t come across as being very political on POTUS’ team, and sticks to data and facts. I want to trust that she isn’t there to sabotage him.
She went to a Christian college.
Colonel Birx impressed me by not using notes or the famous Obama reader (teleprompter)
Stay well and update us if you can . Prayers out to you.
I’m impressed with how well she can relay that hard drive without being political, alarmist, or condescending. It’s also refreshing to see a woman who can effortlessly hold her own amongst DC powersuits while remaining feminine instead of the usual raving, overbearing types.
We really like her, too and think she was particularly good yesterday! My husband said, “I can see her aging by the day”.
Hoping it is negative. Keep us posted.
