White House COVID response coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha joined press secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday to answer questions about the Biden administration's plans to allow pharmacies to directly order COVID-19 treatments like Pfizer's Paxlovid antiviral pills, the push for more pandemic response funding and other topics. "We know this virus is tricky. We know that the risk of potential surges — even of a potential new variant — remains out there. The good news is we are at a point where we have a lot more capabilities, a lot more tools to protect the American people," Jha said.
