Of course you ignore Trump disbanding the CDC's response team! Why? Can't let anything tarnish your little tin god?
Trump Has Sabotaged America’s Coronavirus Response
Trump is not at fault for China failure to contain the virus, so had China great Healthcare system done it job then you would not need the CDC in this country to help figure out how to stop the spread...
If he was doing his job, he wouldn't need China to do theirs.
so we need to prevent viruses from breaking loose in communist countries with government healthcare ? and as far as action taken you can bet the hard charging multitasking POTUS will streamline and remove the red tape to get people on the ball to fast track development of a vaccine treatment and containment .
Don't put words in my mouth. The question is, why did Trump gut the the CDC's pandemic response team? I can just imagine what would have been said, if Obama had done that during the Ebola scare.
And yet China has failed to contain another virus and you blame Trump and the CDC as usual...
The woman in CA who was the first person to contract the virus from an unknown source appears to have been infected by virtue of the HHS sending unqualified, ill-equipped people to handle the return of US citizens from China. It's the incident that is the subject of the whistleblower complaint made against HHS for which the person filing the complaint was threatened with being fired.
Coronavirus safety protocols not followed at federal quarantine sites, whistleblower says

This is exactly the kind of incompetent response that happens when you put a hack like Azar, a pharmaceutical company lobbyist, in charge of an agency he is unqualified to run.
Bottom line, the lacking of testing kits, the lack of a coherent message warning the public about what is to come, the lack of a plan to be able to handle the flood of patients once hospitals become overwhelmed, the downplaying of the threat the virus posed because Trump denied something like this could happen, the lack of health experts to coordinate the response after they were fired, all these things put on display how Trump has already bungled the government's reaction to the severity of the threat.

CDC to cut by 80 percent efforts to prevent global disease outbreak

Four years after the United States pledged to help the world
fight infectious-disease epidemics such as Ebola, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is dramatically downsizing its epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries because money is running out, U.S. government officials said.
The CDC programs, part of a
global health security initiative, train front-line workers in outbreak detection and work to strengthen laboratory and emergency response systems in countries where disease risks are greatest. The goal is to stop future outbreaks at their source.
Most of the funding comes from a one-time, five-year emergency package that
Congress approved to respond to the 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa. About $600 million was awarded to the CDC to help countries prevent infectious-disease threats from becoming epidemics. That money is slated to run out by September 2019. Despite statements from President Trump and senior administration officials affirming the importance of controlling outbreaks, officials and global infectious-disease experts are not anticipating that the administration will budget additional resources.
