A TOP WHO adviser has claimed Trump made "ignorant" and "incoherent" remarks during a news conference detailing the administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak. Special adviser to the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr Ezekiel Emanuel - a key figure in the creation of the controversial ObamaCare program, claimed on left-leaning MSNBC's Hardball that Trump's comments indicated how little the president knew about public health. (Dr Ezekiel Emanuel criticised Trump's lack of public health knowledge) The former US government health policy adviser stressed that health officials still do not know vital information about the virus, which has 60 confirmed cases in the US and over 82,500 worldwide. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and international health bodies, as well as some world leaders, are now warning that an outbreak in the U.S. is "inevitable" and that the world is "on the brink of a pandemic". This is despite Trump's claims the risk to Americans remain very low, and the relatively low number of confirmed cases in the US confirmed compared to other countries around the world. Pointing to Trump's admission that he was shocked by the number of people who die from the common flu annually Dr. Emanuel said: "I found most of what he said a little incoherent." "[Trump's] a guy that admitted that he’s surprised that 25,000 to 69,000 people each year die of the flu. "That just tells you how little he actually knows about public health and about the health of the American public. "I found most of what he said incoherent." -- Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel on Trump's press conference regarding the coronavirus. #Hardball pic.twitter.com/HIHxYLS1E5 — Hardball (@hardball) February 27, 2020 "He just revealed how ignorant he is about the situation. We don’t know how similar or dissimilar this is to the flu. "We know one thing. It is actually more communicable than the flu. It passes between people very, very easily." The comments came moments after Trump announced that Vice President Pence would lead the administration’s coronavirus response during a news conference on Wednesday night. Lawmakers dubbed Trump's emergency funding request of $2.5bn last night as insufficient, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer estimating that $8.5bn would be needed. During the conference Trump said that the U.S. is "ready to adapt" if the disease spread, emphasizing, “we’re very, very ready for this”. He praised his administration's early decisions to close borders to "areas hit by the virus". He stated that the health and safety of the American people was the "number one priority". Trump said that the risk remains "very low" and praised the top experts at his disposal and reported that "all 15" US cases were "getting better", though the number of confirmed cases in the US is currently 60. He then continually disputed the CDC's assessment, saying that he did not think the virus's spread was "inevitable". Economic adviser Larry Kudlow claimed on Tuesday that the virus was "contained" just hours after a top CDC official said the disease could disrupt life in a severe way, according to The Hill. The CDC’s Anne Schuchat said at Wednesday's press conference that the "trajectory" for the coronavirus in the U.S. remains "very uncertain," adding that now was the time for businesses and schools to look into "pandemic preparedness plans." WHO announced Wednesday that more new cases were being reported outside of China than in it, the first time that has happened since the outbreak began in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in December.
Poster Comment: This asswipe is definitely suffering himself from a not-too-rare disease among socialists called rectitus. Is there is nowhere on earth, no organization that the evil, corrupt, leftist political hacks haven't infected?! Emanual is the main architect of Obamacare, that travesty of Socialized medicine the Obama Regime tried to inflict on Americans. He is utterly biased. Wonder if the DNC is paying him to badmouth Trump. He'd do it for free.
