I understand its a short clip with no context, but its clear questions were over and the reporter is speaking out of turn to request more answers. The update/conference isnt a Q&A period of indefinite length answering any and all quesitons and its not her job to do that either. However, the manner in which she just ignores and leaves as if the peasant class is beneath her is damning in and of itself. A simple, "sorry, but thats all the time we have for questions", type response before leaving is all it would take to put an end to it.
Again, I saw this yesterday, but didnt look into it at all for the full context, so if she was actually supposed to answer questions indefinitely and be available to the media, then it deserves full criticism, but for a covid update and press release type statement with some questions, the media would continue to demand questions non-stop and she'd be there for hours if she let them. Doesnt excuse her behaviour completely, but its not like shes just running away and ignoring everything like Fauci pretending not to be able to hear or see at congressional hearings for covid when questioned on texas, florida, etc all having lowest covid numbers in America vs fully locked down states.
You may have a point, but part of being a public official is making sure relevant questions are answered. It's reasonable to assume she can't stand there for hours, but it's also reasonable to inform them that any remaining questions can be directed to her office for an online reply. She has many staff who can facilitate this. Instead she runs away like a coward.

When someone is in command, it is very apparent when they are done taking questions.
