Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) wants to get rid of public health experts who urged social distancing.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) told a Fox News radio program on Tuesday that he would like to see members of the national coronavirus task force quarantined without pay to punish them for advocating social distancing.
Appearing on "Fox Across America," Biggs was asked about National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx. He said both should given "the gold watch" and told to "exit stage left" before blaming them for a host of "societal problems."
From his Fox News Radio interview:

But wait! There is more..."On March 4, 2020, Colorado Republican Ken Buck joined Biggs as the only two Representatives to vote against an $8.3 billion emergency aid package meant to help the United States respond to the 201920 coronavirus pandemic.[9][10] In a statement, Biggs said that the "larded-up bill" was "bloated".[11] Biggs said he opposed the bill because it provided benefits to domestic partners, and argued that it "redefined the family.[12][13]"
