For months, President Donald Trump has insisted that Chinese President Xi Jinping’s management will have to be fully responsible for what he said was the “secret, deception, and cover-up” that allowed COVID-19 to spread around the world.
At the beginning of the pandemic, China arrested and silenced doctors who expressed fear of a new respiratory disease that seemed to alter lifestyles and paintings in the vast city of Wuhan.
How China defeated the coronavirus: experts say U. S. couldn’t take care of it
It is now Trump’s leadership that is silent in revealing data on the spread of coronavirus to the White House.
In addition to Trump and the first lady, an increasing number of senior government officials and advisers tested positive for the virus. Trump returned to the White House after spending three nights in the hospital. There are discrepancies in the accounts of his illness. He says he feels bigger than he was “20 years ago” and turns out to be out of breath in the video of his return to the White House. He suggested Americans “not be afraid of Covid,” messages of public aptitude that critics and fitness experts have described as “terribly irresponsible and harmful to the leader of a country that has surpassed 210,000 coronavirus deaths and 7. 4 million infections. “
”Insouciant to a shocking degree”: reaction to Trump saying you have to be afraid of Covid’
But many questions remain unanswered: the White House says Trump began to feel bad on Thursday and tested positive later in the night. When was the last test before that? The answer may reveal whether Trump was being examined as regularly as his administration claimed. you can simply indicate, for example, whether you tried to hide your condition and participated in an election rally in Minnesota on September 30 when you were consciously ill. Although the White House later issued a saying that “he misrepresented himself,” Trump’s doctor, Sean Conley, said Saturday that the president’s initial diagnosis came “72 hours ago,” the September 30 deadline.
A code of silence or at least confusion reigned over Trump’s fitness issues. His doctors and assistants, as well as Trump himself, have presented a wide variety of possibilities. On Friday, his symptoms would have been “mild. ” The next day, reports revealed that Trump had a high fever and gained additional oxygen for breathing difficulties. Conley said he was “very pleased” with Trump’s progress, while Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told The Associated Press that the president’s important symptoms were “very worrying. “”and that” is not a transparent path to recovery. “
When Trump briefly left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Sunday for a ride in a van with former supporters cheering on him, his doctors demonstrated that he was taking dexamethasone, a competitive steroid that the World Health Organization says will only be prescribed for “serious and critical” cases. . ” Covid19 case. Trump “wasn’t out of danger yet,” Conley said Monday, the same day the president painted a positive picture of his condition, pointing out in White House statements shortly after his return from the hospital: “Now I’m better, and maybe I’m immune, I don’t know. “
‘Don’t be afraid:’ ”: Donald Trump talks about COVID-19 after returning to the White House
And Vice President Mike Pence?The Rose Garden occasion was suspected to be a imaginable vector of contagion for an infection organization that affected at least 18 top GOP leaders.
Pence is also scheduled to debate with California Sen. Kamala Harris in a vice-presidential debate in Salt Lake City, Utah, Wednesday night.
Mike Pence accelerates public appearances: experts are worried
So why did the White House reject on Monday an offer from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the touch identified by the federal government to seek authority, to lead the effort to track down and tell Americans that they might have been exposed to the developing epidemic in the White House?
And why, in addition to accelerating a vaccine for Trump’s political perspective, the White House would block the New Rules of the Food and Drug Administration on the marketing of potential COVID-19 vaccines that would almost in fact have prevented his arrival earlier. ?
We may never know for sure.
Trump epidemic: White House rejects CDC bid to investigate touch search
Thomas J. Bollyky, director of the global fitness program at the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations expert group, said in a Twitter article that “Don’t be afraid of Covid19. Don’t let him dominate your life” would probably not be “the apparent lesson learned from a 3-day hospitalization of a president of the United States, an experimental drug that will be administered to save him, and an epidemic that has now taken over the staff of WH affiliates. “
But the voices have defended Trump.
“If the president recovers on the electoral court, he will be an invincible hero, who has not only survived all the dirty tricks that The Democrats have thrown at him, but also the Chinese virus. It will show America that we are no longer afraid,” Miranda Devine wrote in a column in the New York Post that she then retwented through the president.
(When the coronavirus began to spread throughout the United States, Trump called it the “Chinese virus,” which many called racist and harmful to Asian Americans. )
Trump was not the only one to criticize China’s initial reaction to its coronavirus outbreak – that is, he wondered whether Beijing’s attempt to calm the whistleblower doctors in Wuhan allowed the disease to spread further in China and ultimately, abroad. Beijing has also faced accusations that it has not been completely. transparent about the origins of the virus and possibly would have hidden early evidence of person-to-person transmission from scientists at the World Health Organization (WHO) and other experts.
Chuang Yin-ching, a senior official at taiwan’s Centers for Disease Control who said he thought he was the first foreign scientist to make a stopover in Wuhan in the days after the outbreak, told USA TODAY in a previous interview this year that he was not allowed to stop at, all hospitals or practice patients looking for evidence of human-to-human transmission of the virus. He said he had also not gained any key knowledge of the existing pandemic.
“This is not what epidemiologists expect when reading a disease,” he said.
Trump’s leadership has also accused Beijing of providing false data on the pandemic to WHO. The White House is not the only one to express considerations about how WHO has responded to data on the virus provided to it through China, as well as to disorders similar to those of China. The culture of useless paintings of the foreign public fitness organization in general, however, there is little evidence as Trump officials have continually stated in public statements and interviews that WHO is a “voluntary spouse to retain important data on coronavirus in the United States and the rest of the world. “
Analysis: Trump halt WHO funding. Experts say we love him more than ever
Trump has subsidized a denied theory that undermines his own intelligence agencies, suggesting there is evidence that the coronavirus comes from a Chinese lab. Researchers do not believe that COVID-19 has been produced through humans and implies that animals, probably bats, in nature are viruses that are transmitted from animals to humans, or zoonotic diseases, are not unusual (avian influenza, hantavirus, plague). Scientists the new coronavirus has been transferred from animals to humans but have not yet been able to accurately identify when, where and how it is an uncertainty that Trump and others have attributed to the darkening of China.
The White House noted that Trump and others in his orbit were routinely screened for coronavirus; however, advised coronavirus prevention measures such as masking and social est estating have not been followed, as evidenced by Trump’s numerous public appearances in political demonstrations and his comments contrast with the country’s leading infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci.
Indeed, Trump’s leadership has minimized the severity of the coronavirus pandemic for months, more or less equivalent to the time he accused China of blocking it.
