Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, testifies during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing on March 18, in Washington, DC. I'm going to pause here. I'm going to lose the script, and I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of impending doom," Walensky said, appearing to tear up. She went on to further explain why she worries about "impending doom," referencing how the country has seen a steady increase of coronavirus infections. "What we've seen over the last week or so is a steady rise of cases," Walensky said.
