Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said Sunday that Americans should refrain from rushed judgement and attacking each other and instead focus on defeating the coronavirus.
During an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s "This Week," Murthy said while many people are angry due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the administration's virus protocol, turning against each other is not the answer.
"What we cannot allow, George, is for this pandemic to turn us on each other," Murthy said. "Our enemy is the virus. It is not one another. And what we have to do is approach this next phase of the pandemic response, recognizing we’ve got to listen to each other before we rush to judgment and we’ve got to support one another in our decision making and during times of crisis."
