More bullshit propaganda. UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY STRATEGY https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/GHSS.pdf https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...omeland-world-global-health-security-threats/ PROTECTING AGAINST GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY THREATS: President Donald J. Trump is taking action to protect America and our partners from infectious disease threats. Today, the Trump Administration is releasing its Global Health Security Strategy (Strategy), the first full-fledged strategy of its kind. The Strategy defines the actions the Administration will take to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats, whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate. The Strategy adopts a whole-of-government approach to health security by leveraging the strengths of many different Federal departments, agencies, and funding streams. Combating biological threats and pandemics are a cornerstone of President Donald J. Trump’s National Security Strategy. President Trump released the National Biodefense Strategy in September 2018 to prepare for and combat biological threats. STRENGTHENING GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY CAPACITIES: The United States is working to help ensure that partner countries can respond to health security threats. The United States is working with international partners to help improve the world’s ability to stop and contain infectious disease outbreaks before they spread between countries. Under our new Strategy, the United States will work to ensure that every partner country has a plan to achieve self-reliance in the critical area of health security. The Administration strongly supports the Global Health Security Agenda as a mechanism to accelerate progress addressing infectious disease threats. Nations, international organizations, and the private sector established the Global Health Security Agenda, laying out specific targets to reduce infectious disease threats. The Global Health Security Agenda was first launched in 2014 and re-affirmed in 2018. The United States supports the use of the World Health Organization’s Joint External Evaluation process to help implement the International Health Regulations. Using this process, the United States will assist our international partners to help improve their performance in priority areas. We will encourage countries to strengthen their technical capacities and will support select partner countries in areas such as emergency preparedness and disease surveillance. INCREASING INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT: The United States is creating a safer world by utilizing collective global action to combat global health security threats. Under this Strategy, the United States will use bilateral, regional, and multilateral engagements to encourage countries to make health security a national priority. The United States will coordinate with partner governments, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to promote sustainable financing to build health security capacity. The United States will push for a transparent and accountable framework to encourage donors and countries to fulfill their financial commitments to global health security. By increasing international support, we will be able to enhance preparedness and response mechanisms to combat infectious diseases at home and abroad.
The $2.2 trillion economic relief package passed by the U.S. Senate on March 28, among other measures, ensures that all unemployed Americans, for the next four months, will receive not only their state's unemployment checks as they always would have, but now an additional $600 per week boost from the federal government. A week ago, when the bill was still un-passed and on the Senate floor for debate, some Republicans HATED that idea. But now those very Republicans are cashing in on the good optics, touting what a wonderful thing they've done for struggling Americans. politicians....
Nice try at deflection. The dems are stating that Trump was warned in 2019 about a potential pandemics. It is common sense that there is always that threat. As an aside, dems are acting like a potential pandemic is a novel idea. As in the BI article, they state he did nothing. That is clearly not true and fake news as evidenced by the document at the link below. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/GHSS.pdf Vision The United States, in close cooperation with its international partners, prevents, detects, and responds to infectious disease threats at home and abroad, whether naturally occurring, unintentional, or deliberate. Purpose The Global Health Security Strategy outlines the United States Government’s approach to strengthen global health security, including accelerating the capabilities of targeted countries to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks.1 Together with the National Security Strategy,2 National Biodefense Strategy, 3 and executive order on “Advancing the Global Health Agenda to Achieve a World Safe and Secure from Infectious Disease Threats,” the Global Health Security Strategy guides the Federal Government in protecting the United States and its partners abroad from infectious disease threats by working with other nations, international organizations, and nongovernmental stakeholders. The Global Health Security Strategy supports the National Security and Biodefense Strategies, and further describes how the United States will prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats globally and domestically. The Global Health Security Strategy also delineates how the United States Government will achieve the National Security Strategy priority actions of “Detecting and Containing Biothreats at their Source” and “Improving Emergency Response” domestically as part of the global health security system. II. United States Government Approach for Global Health Security Promoting global health security to detect and mitigate outbreaks early remains a core tenet of our National Security Strategy. Prevent: To prevent epidemics, countries require health systems that can provide routine services and strong veterinary and public health infrastructure that can address both endemic and emerging health threats. Important areas of work within this category include: National Legislation, Policy, and Financing; IHR Coordination, Communication, and Advocacy; Antimicrobial Resistance; Zoonotic Disease; Food Safety; Biosafety and Biosecurity; and Immunization. An additional capacity for the prevention of infectious disease threats is in-country research to develop new prevention measures, especially vaccines and diagnostics for identified threats. Detect: Timely and accurate detection and reporting of infectious disease outbreaks and events are critical to controlling the course of the outbreak and avoiding large-scale epidemics. Important areas of work in this category include: National Laboratory Systems; Surveillance; Reporting; and Human Resources/Workforce Development. These activities build national capacities to detect, identify, report, and investigate health threats in both human and animal populations. Respond: It is critical that countries have multisectoral emergency measures in place to respond to infectious disease events effectively. These measures include coordination mechanisms; emergency operations centers; communications infrastructure; agreements between multisectoral partners on animal and human health, security, and law enforcement (LE) authorities and other sectors; and frameworks for the deployment and management of medical and non-medical countermeasures. Important areas in this category include: Emergency Preparedness; Emergency Response Operations; Linking Public Health and Security/LE Authorities; Medical Countermeasures and Personnel Deployment; and Risk Communication. In addition, managing infectious disease threats at points of entry is critical to a country’s capacity to control infectious disease threats, which do not respect international borders
you need to stop quoting talking points from the WH if you wish to convince anyone of absolving them of gross incompetence.
So policies from the White House are not relevant? It is the US strategy. Not talking points. UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY STRATEGY
How can anyone state incompetence when there is a document that proactively outlines a strategy and response before Covid-19 even existed. So you think that all governments in the graphs I posted are as equally incompetent? If you don't, you clearly deny 2 +2 =4 as well.
