Dr. Deborah Birx Tells CNNs Dr. Sanjay Gupta Most Covid Deaths Could Have Been Mitigated After The Initial Surge

Dr. Deborah Birx, a member of former President Donald Trumps White House Coronavirus Task Force, told CNNs Dr. Sanjay Gupta that she believed most of Americas Covid-19 deaths could have been mitigated after the initial surge if the Trump administration had taken action sooner.
Birx was one of a half dozen former Trump officials who sat down with Gupta for a CNN documentary, Covid War: The Pandemic Doctors Speak Out, which will air in full Sunday evening.
In a clip released by CNN, Gupta asked Birx if she thought it would have made a difference if the U.S. had acted sooner, urging people to wear masks, socially distance, avoid large gatherings, and other methods to slow the spread of the virus.
I look at it this way: The first time, we have an excuse. There were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge, said Birx. All of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially.

And from my recollection, it seems like about 99% of all contagion in the US could have been prevented.
