CBS’ ​“Face the Nation” opened Sunday with a clip of Gov. Ned Lamont soberly reacting the previous evening to the surreal possibility that the president of the United States might quarantine Connecticut, New York and New Jersey to protect the rest of America from COVID-19.
“Words matter,” Lamont said in the snippet, taken from his televised briefing on Saturday. ​“And those words have created a certain amount of confusion. And when you lack clarity, that can create confusion. And confusion can lead to panic.”
