Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Monday he believes the U.S. has "overreacted a little bit" to the coronavirus pandemic, arguing that Americans can get back to work sooner rather than later if they observe social distancing and wear masks.
The former congressman and budget chief for the Trump administration cited recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance finding the virus does not spread easily via surfaces to assert the country may have gone too far with restrictions.
"The fact that it’s difficult to get this disease from touching stuff ... should sort of reset how we look at this," Mulvaney said on CNBC. "What it means is that if we are careful about social distancing and putting on masks and so forth, we should be able to go back to work sooner rather than later."
Mulvaney said he flew on an airplane over the weekend and would be "completely comfortable" sitting in a middle seat if he and both passengers next to him had masks on to limit the odds of transmitting the disease.
"I think we’ve sort of lost perspective on this a little bit, Joe, and we’ve overreacted a little bit," he told co-host Joe Kernen.

A little bit? Just a little bit? Understatement of the year .....
He is being “semi-Karen”.
But why?
PAN-DEM-IC DEM–PANIC Fear [vote-by-mail] and obey [stay inside or face death or arrest] tactics push will end +1 [election day].
Reconcile: Release of convicts from prison [evil releases evil].
Do these people care about your well-being?
Do these people love America?
Do anything to regain power?
So can we have our January, 2020 economy back and the unprecedented gains for black people and women in employment and wealth? And the freedoms taken from us by power mad governors like Cuomo, Whitmer and Newsom?
I’ll expect those returned immediately.
Ya think?
“A little bit? Just a little bit? Understatement of the year .....”
I think that President Trump was talked into listening to Fauci and was fed a load of BS. President Trump has already said, HE WILL NOT SHUT DOWN THE COUNTRY AGAIN, even if the Covid-19 does rear it’s head in the fall. Is Fauci is sounding the alarm already along with the worthless WHO.
.
We aren't allowed to ask that but the answer is the dirty, conniving, dishonest Dems want to destroy our way of life and replace it with them in total control of socialist/communist tyranny over humble, weakened subjects.
Ask North Koreans, Chinese and old Soviet people to tell about their wonderful life in workers' paradises.
But here apparently over 50% are ready to vote for anyone who is not Trump. Idiots.
No shite Sherlock! When we went beyond the 2-week flattening period it all became political and of no use in saving anyone. Didn’t anyone there think critically about the baseless and off the charts predictions that kept coming and never became true?
Agree.
Say it loud, we’re FReepers and we’re proud. Let the other side whisper.
“[O]verreacted a little bit” in the same fashion as burning down a house to get rid of mice.
Excellent analogy.
COVID-19 expiration date: 2020 ELECTION DAY (After the polls close.)
Thank you. That's not nearly how I feel about all of it. You shoulda posted, "Tell them how you really feel." lolol
Just a little.
Contradicting the President is one of the reasons why he's a former Chief-of-Staff.
"They're really getting serious about fighting the corona on these domestic flights."
“if they observe social distancing and wear masks.”
If anyone cares to dig through my old post..i said what he said here...about 2 month ago..possibly earlier?
