I and my family remained very hopeful of his full recovery.

He is a tenacious person in all aspects of its life, and I know he will come out of this strong states under pressure to deal with the growing crisis, turning to the federal government for help.

But getting inconsistent messages from the president and his team on testing and protocol.

Don't tell us things that are not true.

The CDC has been slow in allowing states and other commercial laboratories to test a Republican governor also expressing his concern.

Has the president been perfect in his communication?

Thio really indulge themselves and learning about how viruses are spread and to take advantage of that knowledge and determining what their daily activities air going to bay.

I'm confused by the message you're sending right now, Dr Carson.

I'm trying to ask you what, in the view of the government experts right now, what broader measures need to be taken?

Those recommendations will be coming out from the CDC.

They're being evaluated on a daily basis Right now.

The recommendation is, as I just prescribed, go about your normal daily activities if you are healthy, all right.
