The exchange of tense words by Representative Jim Jordan with infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci created tension on Thursday s congressional hearing on the COVID-19 pandemic. But the argument was ended by Representative Maxine Waters by telling Jordan to shut his mouth.
In the hearing held by the House Coronavirus Crisis Subcommittee, Jim Jordan questioned the chief medical advisor on COVID-19 for the president, Fauci, on when the federal government can start to eliminate precautionary measures against COVID-19. These measures include social distancing and the wearing of masks as part of safety precautions.
The Representative of Ohio asked Fauci if what happened to 15 days that the federal government previously mentioned in slowing down the spread of the virus as it already turned into a year of losing liberty.
