And last night it sounded as if the data was leading her in Trumps direction.

Also, in regard to Dr. Birx:
last night, when she was admitting she had self-isolated and received a test after running a low-grade fever, there was some side play between her and POTUS that broke the tension. Trump was clowning and she was affectionately grinning, eye-rolling and in general playing indulgent mom to a rambunctious teen boy.
The Donald has won her over on a personal level.
At some point a preponderance of anecdote becomes data. There was a time when hand washing was not considered important in the transmission of disease.
She is GREAT! She is unflappable. She is obviously knowledgeable and an expert, but she can explain things so everyone can understand.
She is very believable and I trust her. An EXCELLENT choice for this task force.
