<deleted> the task force was embedded with National Security as a measure to manage risk assessment and develop policy in case there was a pandemic. It is alleged Bolton disbanded the unit as a cost saving mechanism. I understand there will be an investigation as to the circumstances and affect on the trump admin response to Covid. Personally I don't trust trump admin for a transparent investigation by a country mile. 

 

Article reviewing the backward and forwards ins & outs below.

 

Just a month before the first coronavirus cases emerged in China, a two-year CSIS commission, which included six members of Congress, health experts, and former U.S. and military officials warned that they were “sounding the alarm that the U.S. government is caught in a cycle of crisis and complacency” when it came to preparing the country for a pandemic. As its very first recommendation, the commission urged the White House to restore health security leadership at the NSC.

"Now architects of the NSC reorganization are speaking out, defending the White House’s decision by arguing that they merely streamlined a bloated organization and put pandemic and bioweapons experts in the same room, a move that was tested in real time by the 2018 upsurge in cases of the Ebola haemorrhagic fever in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Former officials say that the outbreak has been largely defeated, proof that the current White House can readily respond to such threats if given enough warning. They instead blame China, claiming the country waited weeks, if not months, to warn the world early enough to stop the spread of COVID-19"

180 countries including the USA relied on the WHO, who was using China's facts in early January!

Well it was originally suggested by China:

Quote

During the 1945 United Nations Conference on International Organization, Szeming Sze, a delegate from the Republic of China, conferred with Norwegian and Brazilian delegates on creating an international health organization under the auspices of the new United Nations. 

 

No wonder since they are one of the main sources of new epidemics. Unsanitary habits and destroying the forests.

The worlds Policeman at it again.   Blame game ,,,,childrens stuff

He would do better keeping his eyes on his own plate which is in a terrible state with all the bickering & lacking countrywide strong direction

Suggestions !  While Mr. Trump is fighting all the opposition to his efforts in the CV crisis ,the whole world of critics are pinning the blame on anything that begins with T and ends with P imop .The WHO has a lot of explaining to do! A rational person would see that! imop

He criticize WHO, UN, Climate Change, TPP, NATO, EU. Did I miss out any others? He is just a serial criticizer. No much substance in his criticism. Just that none of the above stroke his fragile ego & defend his shortcoming like his ardent supporters.

Most of the rest of the known world, do not give a rats about Trump. and his incompetence with the exception of compassion for the number of dead and ill, soon about to overtake the rest of the known world. 

The exception being that the populace in general are breathing a sigh of relief he is not in their country. 

The world does not want GM or Trump.

 

Trump would be great in Europe or Aus or NZ.

WHO told many things, and took this imo too lightly. However after they changed their position and called it a major health threat it took trump 1.5 months to call it a pandemic, in the mean time calling it under control, a flu, etc.

 

So yes, trump bears responsibility for this being a bigger disaster than was necessary. And yes, calling out the WHO on this is hypocritical.

Didn’t Trump declare publicly that he knew it was a pandemic before the WHO declared it as one? I believe it was from one of his TV rallies press briefings

Moot point for the families of the 10s of thousands of dead, and the unacceptable number currently in hospitals who may never fully recover, sheer ego driven arrogance

During 2009/2010, then Head of the WHO, Margaret Chan called a pandemic for the, "when pig's fly virus" which turned out to be a total cock-up. Now, to date, those who have died do not outnumber the deaths last year of only the Americans who died from influenza. So is this a pandemic when deaths of flu in country outnumber the world's deaths from Covid which includes: flu, pulmonary disease, respiratory disease and influenza. Go figure.

And the tvf anti Trumpers will defend this corrupt agency and the stooge who is running it, and defend the lying duplicitous Chinese as well, because they have to bash the president regardless of the reality. 

Not much WHO and China defense here, mainly criticism of Trump. And those 2 are not the same, all 3 rightly deserve criticism.
