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 expanding 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,” turns out he’s out of breath in the video of his return to the White House. He suggested Americans “not be afraid of Covid”: public fitness messages 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 he’s 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 who encouraged 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, and noted in White House statements shortly after his arrival at the hospital: “Now I’m better, and maybe I’m immune, I don’t know. “

And Vice President Mike Pence should be isolated since he will not only be the next president if Trump is incapacitated, but attended a rite crowded in the White House on September 26 to officially announce Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court by Trump?It was suspected to be a vector of contagion imaginable for an infection organization affecting at least 18 senior GOP leaders.
In addition, Pence plans to discuss with California Senator Kamala Harris a vice-presidential debate Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.

Moreover, why did the White House on Monday reject an offer from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the contact tracking authority identified by the federal government, to lead the effort to track down and tell Americans that they may 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’ll probably never know for sure.

Thomas J. Bollyky, director of the global fitness program for the New York-based think tank Council on Foreign Relations, said in an article on Twitter that “Don’t be afraid of Covid19. Don’t let it rule your life. ” . It might not be “the apparent lesson learned from the 3-day hospitalization of a US president, an experimental drug to be administered to save him, and an epidemic that has now gripped 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 he retwented through the president.
(When the coronavirus began to spread in 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 if Beijing’s attempt to calm the whistleblower doctors in Wuhan allowed the disease to spread further in China and ultimately, abroad. transparent about the origins of the virus and possibly concealed the first evidence of person-to-person transmission from scientists at the World Health Organization 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 an earlier interview this year that he was not allowed to make a stopover at all hospitals or practice patients in search of 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 also accused Beijing of providing false pandemic data to WHO. The White House is not the only one expressing fear about how WHO has responded to data on the virus provided to it through China, as well as to foreign public health disorders The organization’s culture of useless paintings in general, however, there is little evidence, as Trump officials have alleged in public statements and interviews , that WHO was. a “voluntary spouse to retain important coronavirus data in the United States and around 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 originated in a Chinese lab. Researchers do not believe that COVID-19 has been produced through humans and imply 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 its orbit were regularly screening coronaviruses; however, recommended coronavirus prevention measures, such as masking and social 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.
