Surgeon General Scolds Media Hyping ‘Worst-Case Scenario’ Projections
By Kyle Drennen | March 27, 2020 12:10 PM EDT

Appearing on Friday’s CBS This Morning, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams lectured the media on hyping “worst-case scenario” projections about the coronavirus pandemic that have so far proven to be “way off.” His comments came after co-host Gayle King took jabs at President Trump for making a similar point in a recent interview, despite having “no medical training.”

“You know, doctors and nurses around the country are saying, ‘Hello, government, we need ventilators, we need ventilators now.’ But President Trump seems to have a different take on that,” King fretted as she teed up a clip of the President talking to Fox News host Sean Hannity Thursday night.
