Deborah Birx Says 130,000 Lives Could Have Been Saved, But Trump Admin "Distracted" by Election
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

coordinator, told lawmakers over 130,000 lives could have been saved in
the U.S. if the Trump administration had quickly implemented effective
public health measures. Birx said the White House was too "distracted"
by the election and ignored recommendations to slow down the pandemic.
