The government’s top infectious disease expert is testifying Tuesday before a powerful House panel, along with the heads of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration.
The nation is emerging from weeks of stay-at-home orders and business shutdowns.
But that’s being done in an uneven way, with some states far less cautious than others.
