"We need to be truthful with the American people. Americans deserve the truth. The truth must be based on science. We have the world's greatest scientists. Let us lead. Let us speak without fear of retribution. We must listen. Each of us can and must do our part now," Bright said.
"The window is closing to address this pandemic because we still do not have a standardized, centralized, coordinated plan," Bright said, though adding that a plan could still be developed. On the strategic national stockpile, Bright said that the government has"known for quite some time that our stockpile was insufficient" and told the committee that he raised alarms and"those alarms were not responded to with action."Bright testifies before House lawmakers, Democrat calls White House response 'inept, ineffective and extremely late'
