Sen. Richard Burr sold personal stocks worth between $628,000 and $1.72 million in 33 separate transactions on Feb. 13, before the recent market volatility, public disclosures show. Asked by NPR for comment on the sales, his spokesperson replied: 'lol.'
"There's one thing that I can tell you about this: It is much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history," he said, according to a secret recording of the remarks obtained by NPR."It is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic."
Hospital clinicians work on testing patients for the coronavirus at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Newton, Mass., where the hospital has set up tents in a parking garage.Thirteen days before the State Department began to warn against travel to Europe, and 15 days before the Trump administration banned European travelers, Burr warned those in the room to reconsider.
"There will be, I'm sure, times that communities, probably some in North Carolina, have a transmission rate where they say, 'Let's close schools for two weeks. Everybody stay home,'"he said.
