CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky became emotional at a White House coronavirus press briefing on Monday — her voice breaking as she warned that the US is facing “impending doom” as COVID-19 cases rise again.
“I’m gonna lose the script and I’m going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom,” Walensky told reporters at the briefing.
“We have so much to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope. But right now I’m scared.”
“I know what it’s like as a physician to stand in that patient room, gowned, gloved, masked, shielded and to be the last person to touch some else’s loved one because their loved one couldn’t be there,” she continued.
“And I know what it’s like to pull up to your hospital every day and see an extra morgue sitting outside.”
Walensky said she feared that the US is headed down a similar path to many European countries, which have had to issue lockdowns again amid surges in cases.
“The trajectory of the pandemic in the United States looks similar to many other countries in Europe, including Germany, Italy, and France looked like just a few weeks ago and since that time those countries have experienced a consistent and worrying spike in cases,” she said.
Walensky — speaking, she said, not just as the CDC director but “as a wife, as a mother, as a daughter” — urged Americans to “hold on a little longer” until they can get vaccinated against the coronavirus.

What happened to “following the science?” Is a feeling of doom in any way scientific? She is a CDC director, but she is speaking in her capacity as a mother? What happened to the women’s movement? Isn’t this the type of emotionalism that women were criticized for in decades past? You would think that as a progressive woman she would avoid this type of hysterical statement and stick to the facts.
Henny Penny...the sky is falling!!!!!!!!!!
If she can’t get a grip she should find a new line of work.
Doom?....that they brought on with their total screwup regarding this whole phony pandemic!
I tried to watch this and I couldn’t. Unbelievable.
Stoopid Americans got Joe Biden and all the shit he and his party bring with him.
With lying libs, it’s all about spectacle.
If she can’t get a grip she should find a new line of work.

Guess she become a babbling, incoherent fool should mass ADE or ITP or deaths happen on her watch with this nationwide clinical trial she’s overseeing.
Should the above happen, one should not expect the survivors to remain calm nor friendly to folks who told them these experiments “are perfectly safe”.
Wake-up you idiot the Democrats are a million times more dangerous
“Where did Biden find this one? At Bedlam?”
The same place he found all the other ones who are now in his administration, either they are re-treads from previous administrations; or in trash heaps that no one wants.
Vampire?
What the Holy Hell is this administration trying to do?
Please tell me this is just a bad nightmare, and Trump actually won the election and will be back in office soon.
Until the border is closed, we will assume there’s no covid crisis.
Pathetic. She should go back to a lab or something.
Local Miami news played her crocodile tears performance over and over this week.
A cringe worthy plea of a tyrant in a dress.
She must be menopausal.
That would account for the out-of-control emotions.
Good one.
re: “‘Scared’ CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky warns of ‘impending doom’ for America”
Is this position as “director” too much for her?
