Coss Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 The Trump administration ended a $200-million pandemic early-warning program in China and other countries two months before the novel coronavirus began to spread in Wuhan, China. The PREDICT program identified 1,200 different viruses that had the potential to erupt into pandemics, including more than 160 novel coronaviruses. It also trained and supported staff in 60 foreign laboratories. Field work ceased when the funding for PREDICT ran out in September 2019, and organizations that worked on the program laid off dozens of scientists and analysts. (Los Angeles Times) The Trump administration eliminated a CDC disease expert position in China a few months before the coronavirus pandemic began. The position, known as resident adviser to the U.S. Field Epidemiology Training Program in China, was funded by the CDC and was focused on helping detect disease outbreaks in China. No other foreign disease experts were embedded to lead the program after Dr. Linda Quick had to leave her post in July amid the U.S. trade dispute with China. The post was officially discontinued as of September 2019. The CDC first learned of a “cluster of 27 cases of pneumonia” of unexplained origin in Wuhan, China on Dec. 31. (Reuters) The Trump administration fired more than two-thirds of the staff working at a key U.S. public health agency operating in China leading up to the coronavirus outbreak. Staff at the CDC’s Beijing office was slashed from roughly 47 people to 14 people since Trump took office. The CDC has worked in China for the last 30 years. The National Science Foundation and the USAID office, which helped China monitor and respond to outbreaks, also shuttered their Beijing offices on Trump’s watch.

cavanami Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 For all those suffering from stage 5 TDS...President Trump was correct, AGAIN!!! Hydroxychloroquine rated ‘most effective’ coronavirus treatment, poll of doctors finds An international poll of thousands of doctors rated the Trump-touted anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine the best treatment for the novel coronavirus. Of the 6,227 physicians surveyed in 30 countries, 37 percent rated hydroxychloroquine the “most effective therapy” for combating the potentially deadly illness, according to the results released Thursday. The survey, conducted by the global health care polling company Sermo, also found that 23 percent of medical professionals had prescribed the drug in the US — far less than other countries. “Outside the US, hydroxychloroquine was equally used for diagnosed patients with mild to severe symptoms whereas in the US it was most commonly used for high risk diagnosed patients,” the survey found. The medicine was most widely used in Spain, where 72 percent of physicians said they had prescribed it. https://nypost.com/2020/04/02/hydroxychloroquine-most-effective-coronavirus-treatment-poll/?utm_source=facebook_sitebuttons&utm_medium=site+buttons&utm_campaign=site+buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Mr cavanami, as fanatic supporter of true facts you might enjoy reading the following manuscripts. A bit tiring but that is how science works. Draw your own conclusion regarding the efficiency and try to explain Donald. I am extremely pleased that you now seem to start quoting sources that do not belong to the usual Trump slaves. https://www.unboundmedicine.com/medline/research/Chloroquine_AND_(Coronavirus_2019_OR_COVID-19_OR_SARS-CoV-2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 If Trump wins re-election, Gov. Cuomo will be the Dem nomination in 2024. If Biden wins, and he's not doing well, Cuomo wil be the nominee in 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 The nation is relying Gov. Cuomo for leadership. Its a bit like Rudy after 911. The country was listening to him more than Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Unfounded and completely fabricated, rumour has it: That Trump and his family and acolytes, are currently looking for Luxury Accommodation, in a country that will be safe, if there are "troubles". Apparently the results of previous scouting trips, by a Mr. Jared Kushner, have been discarded, as the Middle East countries, are seen as potentially hostile to caucasian types. Current speculation includes the tantalising snippet, that any solution must be within easy travel, of an airport capable of servicing, Airforce One and it's back up. There is thought, that high end hotels in the same region as the Grand Hotel Sonnenbichl in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, https://www.grandhotel-sonnenbichl.com/en/, are topping the list at present.

Steve Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 That whole Republicans are more supportive of the military narrative has been completely turned upside down these past few years. the ignones who should be relieved of command are the ones that ignored his pleas. He was doing what we want any captain to do. Treat the lives of his men as if its his own family. Trump probably not only didn't do anything to save his job but likely was behind it. https://www.yahoo.com/news/hold-leaders-accountable-esper-defends-141131090.html ‘How we hold leaders accountable’: Esper defends firing of Navy captain who raised coronavirus alarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
