'The coronavirus is not a state issue. It doesn't follow or respect state borders,' Chris Wallace explained.
"You know, when President Trump says he's a wartime president, during World War II FDR [former President Franklin D. Roosevelt] didn't say: 'Well, it's up to each state to decide what to do.' He mobilized the nation," Wallace said.
Adams responded by saying that governors are"intensely protective of their right, and rightly so, to be able to decide what's best for their states." The surgeon general explained that he and other scientists and medical professionals would"do everything we can" to help governors and states understand the right thing to do.
"The tension between 'federal mandated' versus 'states' rights' to do what they want is something that I don't want to get into," the public health official."But if you look at what's going on in this country, I just don't understand why we're not doing that. We really should be."
