U.S. health officials said that they have been offering for weeks to send experts to help China combat the coronavirus that has claimed at least 106 lives.
At press conference Tuesday, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said the U.S. first offered to send experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on January 6 but China has not yet accepted the offer.
“CDC experts are standing by, ready willing and able to go immediately to China, either on a bilateral basis or under the auspices of the World Health Organization,” Azar said. “This is a major public health issue and we basically just need the best public health people we have in the world working on this.”
U.S. personnel could aid China in answering critical public health questions about how the virus spreads, its incubation period, and if it can be spread by those not yet showing symptoms, CDC Director Robert Redfield said.
“We are urging China: more cooperation and transparency are the most important steps you can take toward a more effective response,” Azar said.

Because it was developed by the military. Duh!
ReplyDeleteCan’t blame them
ReplyDelete3:13
ReplyDeleteAre you on the inside and know this?
Or are you just spouting reckless rumors?
Perhaps because the CDC would find extremely deplorable conditions.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to ban Chinese students from enrolling in US colleges and universities. They are back from Christmas break and in campus classrooms possibly carrying the virus.
ReplyDeletebongo the cdc would find out the situation is much worse then the commies are letting on. but whats a few mil dead slaves?
ReplyDeleteSo they're walling 'em off and committing passive genocide, nobody needs to know about that.
ReplyDelete5:16 yes we do know this. The Canadians deported a Chinese scientist working at the Canadian NML who was caught sending virus samples to China's biological weapons lab in Wuhan. Got the picture. This has been verified by our allies, not internet trolls.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you haven't noticed, 80,000,000 Chinese citizens are under quarantine. The US today did an airlift to remove personnel and immediately put them under quarantine. Mongolia has closed their common border with China also. Do not be surprised if the Chinese shut down all outgoing flights soon. Oh and just for grins, go online and try to purchase a supply of N95 masks. Out of stock.
