New York Health Commissioner Tells People Not To Follow White House Coronavirus Guidance
[DailyCaller] A New York's health commissioner contradicted coronavirus guidance from the White House on Wednesday, telling people who have been to New York City recently that they should not, in fact, quarantine.

Coronavirus task force member Dr. Deborah Birx on Tuesday urged anyone who had been to New York City recently to self-quarantine, as there was a significant chance they contracted the virus. NY commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker, however, said that part of the White House's guidance wasn't necessary.

Birx was nominated by President Barry Obama.

"I would not follow that. I believe you should follow the guidance in general, you should social distance," he said, according to Wall St. Journal reporter Jimmy Vielkind.

Let them die, it's OK we hate Trump

#6 Whereas NYC mayor demands more federal assistance.

I've watched four or five of his press conferences during the past week or so, and he whines about Federal help constantly. I half expected him to start stompin' his feet whenever he brought it up.
