“Several months before the coronavirus pandemic began, the Trump administration eliminated a key American public health position in Beijing intended to help detect disease outbreaks in China,” Reuters reports. “The American disease expert, a medical epidemiologist embedded in China’s disease control agency, left her post in July… The first cases of the new coronavirus may have emerged as early as November, and as cases exploded, the Trump administration in February chastised China for censoring information about the outbreak and keeping U.S. experts from entering the country to help.
Yep, it's Trumps fault. How stupid does one have to be to believe that? Like stupid average Democratic voter stupid?
It actually is his fault. These people were put in place to catch this kind of thing fast after the recent H1N1 & ebola etc., Trump did not grasp the importance and slashed them for his fence. By definition, his fault. One term president. And his CURRENT guy is saying he is an idiot choosing his words carefully. Fauci on Trump: 'I can't jump in front of the microphone and push him down'
The Trump administration cut staff by more than two-thirds at a key U.S. public health agency operating inside China, as part of a larger rollback of U.S.-funded health and science experts on the ground there leading up to the coronavirus outbreak,” Reuters reports. “Most of the reductions were made at the Beijing office of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and occurred over the past two years.”
