Republican Rep. Jim Jordan and the nation's top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci got into a heated exchange Thursday over the country's Covid-19 mitigation measures, which ended with Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters telling Jordan to "shut your mouth."
During a House subcommittee hearing about federal government's response to the pandemic, Jordan, an Ohio conservative, asked Fauci when the nation can begin relaxing physical distancing measures and mask-wearing -- posing it as a question as to when Americans will regain their freedom and liberties.
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, started to respond that the time will be when the United States has more Americans vaccinated and has a level of coronavirus infection that is low enough that it's "no longer a threat."
Jordan then interrupted Fauci, asking for a specific number.
"We had 15 days of 'slow the spread' turn into one year of lost liberty," Jordan said. "What metrics, what measures, what has to happen before Americans get more freedoms back?"
"You're indicating liberty and freedom. I look at it as a public health measure to prevent people from dying and going to the hospital," Fauci countered. "This will end, for sure, when we get the level of infection very low. It is now at such a high level, there is a threat again of major surges."
Fauci later said to Jordan, "You're making this a personal thing and it isn't."
"It's not a personal thing," Jordan fired back.
"No, you are," Fauci said, sounding exasperated. "That is exactly what you're doing."
Fauci defended his recommendations as being consistent and based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Covid-19 guidance.
"Right now, we have about 60,000 infections a day, which is a very large risk for resurge. We're not talking about liberties. We're talking about a pandemic that has killed 560,000 Americans," said Fauci, who later said his "best estimate" would be to have the number of infections per day to be "well below" 10,000 a day.

US Politics Video: 'Incredibly disappointing': What lawmaker fears if US troops leave Afghanistan
President Joe Biden formally announced his decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan before September 11, the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that led the US into its longest war.
"We cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in Afghanistan hoping to create the ideal conditions for our withdrawal, expecting a different result," Biden said.
"I am now the fourth American president to preside over an American troop presence in Afghanistan. Two Republicans. Two Democrats," he added. "I will not pass this responsibility to a fifth."
In a sign he views his remarks as a historic bookend to the prolonged conflict, he delivered them from precisely the same spot in the White House Treaty Room that President George W. Bush announced the start of the war on October 7, 2001. Afterward he'll visit the section of Arlington National Cemetery where many of America's war dead from Afghanistan are buried.

Politics Video: 'Balance of Power' Full Show (04/15/2021)
Apr.15 -- "Bloomberg: Balance of Power" focuses on the intersection of politics and global business. Guests: Sen. Tina Smith, Sen. Mike Braun, Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer, Sullivan & Cromwell Chairman Rodgin Cohen
Apr.15 -- Ian Bremmer, Eurasia Group president, talks about the new sanctions President Joe Biden imposed on Russia. Bremmer says Biden could have done more. He speaks on "Balance of Power."
Apr.15 -- Senator Mike Braun, a Republican from Indiana, says President Joe Biden is right for pulling our troops out of Afghanistan. But he says former President Donald Trump deserves credit for setting the stage. He speaks on "Balance of Power."
Apr.15 -- The U.S. is readying sanctions against Russia that could target about a dozen people. Sources say it’s also expected to expel up to 10 officials and diplomats. The move comes as President Joe Biden grapples with alleged election interference and the SolarWinds Hack. Financial penalties will also be levied across Russian entities with bonds tipped as the next sanction target. Bloomberg’s Rosalind Mathieson reports on “Bloomberg Markets: European Open.”
Apr.14 -- President Joe Biden announced the full withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, saying it’s “time to end the ‘forever war.”’
President Biden announced actions he was taking against Russia, including the expulsion of several Russian officials and executive orders authorizing new measures, including sanctions. "I was clear with President Putin that we could have gone further but I chose not to do so. I chose to be proportionate. The United States is not looking to kick off a cycle of escalation and conflict with Russia. We want a stable, predictable relationship. If Russia continues to interfere with our democracy, I'm prepared to take further actions to respond."
