How can you state anything with confidence when people are not being tested?

[pamm]

This doesn't line up with the ER Dr from NYC who wasn't getting the test kits he needed to do his job interviewed earlier this week.

Azar is not a Fortune teller so, do not ask him for any predictions.

[boggsanonymous]

Look at China we had plenty of time for warnings to test ready.

[WonderMagician]

"Well Lou - we've been transparent on all of our lies!"

[sherrystacyrn]

DON'T WAIT ON THE GOVERNMENT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO IT ON YOUR ON.

[MrMadmanUSA]

Lou has good questions but he is ignoring the Answers.

My wife is a nurse
She said the single most effective way to ensure spread of the virus is to withhold the test. Mission accomplished

[sherryjohnson]

"Your government has a plan"
Me: oh crap, time for the bunker...

[thegingerhitman]

Lou SHUP UP!! Let’s get answers to your questions instead of the interruptions.

[maniusa]

The problem is we don't manufacture medicine and medical supplies in the U.S. anymore, all are made overseas.

[salavantias]

Face it more peeps have died from starvation while waiting for Michael Moore to finish his turn at the Buffet Table.

[TonyGalactic]

Lou wants to hear a doomsday scenario and he's not hearing it. That's the media for you.

[Charlie-iirr]

Lou, I agree with you on most things, but I would suggest that when to declare a pandemic is a bit above your pay grade. Furthermore, it is exasperating when you have an expert on your show, ask questions, and then won't let the person finish their answer. Keep your place and listen for a change.

[stvsanders]

I appreciate Lou’s concern but He was a little rude to Azar

[cantstopsinging]

Lou is one of my absolute favorites but I think he's getting a bit too impatient here with Azar.

[mikec]

This is the Lou Dobbs that i remember from 20 years ago. It's good to see him again. m

[timberho]

Ironic how this virus is spreading thru blue districts.

[mikeherschel]

No Lou was throwing this guy under the bus while trying to boost the prez at the same time, he should get a medal from trump for his loyalty but it’s a bit sickening. If Azar is at fault then so is his boss. I think they’re doing all they can and this thing will take its coarse regardless we should be focused on treating people and providing communities affected support instead of throwing blame like the dems do.

The plan is as it has always been... Lie and blame everyone else...
