Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar waited weeks to brief President Donald Trump on the coronavirus threat and oversold the progress of developing an effective test for the virus, The Wall Street Journal is reporting.
The newspaper said that as of Jan. 29, Azar had assured Trump the coronavirus outbreak was under control. And during the meeting with Trump, Azar said the government had never mounted a better inter-agency response to a crisis.
The Journal attributed the information to administration officials.
It said when Azar was asked about diagnostic testing, he told Trump it was “the fastest we’ve ever created a test.” He also said more than one million tests would be available within weeks.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started shipping tests the next week. However, it was forced to recall them when officials discovered a flaw.

God Bless President Trump!! All the haters can f*** off!! He's done a great job!! Much better than the Democrats...remember they called him racist for closing off China!!
DEMOCRAT HAVE VERY SELECTIVE MEMORIES.
He briefed Trump twice in January, along with Navarro
Trump can never admit he's wrong. His mistakes are always blamed on someone else. It's hardly a new pattern that he wants all of the power but none of the accountability.
