Americans are too worried about the new coronavirus that’s spreading rapidly across China, former White House health advisor Ezekiel Emanuel told CNBC on Thursday
“Everyone in America should take a very big breath, slow down and stop panicking and being hysterical,” said Dr. Emanuel, who served during Barack Obama’s presidency. “We are having a little too much histrionics on this.”
Alex Azar, the current secretary of Health and Human Services under President Donald Trump, also said later on CNBC on Thursday that the risk to Americans remains low.
