US underprepared for coronavirus due to Trump cuts, say health experts | World news | The Guardian
Steps put in place after Ebola outbreak have been scrapped
Post of global health czar eliminated and CDC funding cut
US preparedness to deal with the threat of coronavirus has been hampered by the personnel and budget cuts made by the Trump administration over the past three years, according to health experts.
There is no one in the White House tasked specifically to oversee a coordinated government-wide response in the event of a pandemic, since the post of senior director for global health security and biothreats on the national security council (NSC) was eliminated last May.
==========================================================
If the fat cats he dines with at Mar-a-Lago can't make a financial killing at it, forget coronavirus prevention or treatment. You are all on your own under Trump.
