Congressman Michael Burgess (R-TX) says he’s been sounding the alarm in D.C. for weeks that lawmakers need to take the COVID-19 situation seriously. Burgess is calling for a stand-alone congressional hearing focused exclusively on COVID-19.  

At the federal level, Burgess says, they’ve moved to containment and mitigation.

The Texas Republican speaks with Jason Whitely and Bud Kennedy, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Burgess spent nearly 30 years practicing medicine in North Texas before joining Congress. He’s served the 26th district since 2003.  

Burgess earned his M.D. from the University of Texas Medical School in Houston and completed his residency programs at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. He also received a master’s degree in Medical Management from the University of Texas at Dallas.
