Devin Nunes Questions Social Distancing in Interview: Transcript

Devin Nunes: (00:00) Yeah. That's not going to work. I mean, look, the schools were just canceled out here in California, which is way overkill. I mean, it's possible kids could have went back to school in two weeks to four weeks, but they just canceled the rest of the schools. Look, I'm optimistic here. I think that the drugs that are on the market now ... Look how quick we were able to get this approved, this new malaria drug that you've been talking about every night. There's a lot of optimism here that we have in some of these drugs that are coming online. The vaccines are going to take a while. Devin Nunes: (00:30) But look, we have this bill that we just passed last week, $2.2 trillion worth. We have to focus on keeping people employed.

I just don't know of any economy that's ever survived where you unplugged the entire economy and expect things to go back and be normal.
