NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Mike Osborne) -- An outspoken member of Nashville’s Coronavirus Task Force is calling President Donald Trump’s most recent comments about the pandemic “totally unacceptable.”
Dr. James Hildreth is President of Meharry Medical College, an infectous disease specialist, and a leading member of Metro’s outbreak response team.
In social media post on Monday, Dr. HIldreth responded to President Trump’s assertion that Americans should not “be afraid of COVID.”
