Trump Coronavirus Task Force Member Dodges Fox News Host's Questions About Alleged Shortage of Medical SuppliesA key member of President Donald Trump's coronavirus task force has been accused by a Fox News host of not giving a direct answer about whether there are sufficient medical supplies to deal with the outbreak.
Host Martha MacCallum started by asking about coronavirus tests, and whether a pledge made by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar had been kept that there would be"millions of them out there by the end of the week." Administrator for the Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services, Seema Verma attends 2019 Forbes Healthcare Summit at the Jazz at Lincoln Center on December 05, 2019 in New York City. She was repeatedly asked on Fox News about whether there was enough hospital equipment to deal with the coronavirus outbreak.
Verma replied:"We have an emergency prepared system. We are used to dealing with disasters," pointing out that previous responses to hurricanes in Puerto Rico and Florida showed that there was a"system in place to make sure that folks that are on the front lines have the equipment and the supplies that they need.
