C. After a series of critical tweets during the day President Trump launched a verbal attack on the w. H. O. In the daily Coronavirus Briefing the president seemed particularly on good by the w h os recommendation and early february that International Travel should continue this just days off to he had imposed a ban on flights from china he also appeared to echo allegations that the organization relied too heavily on information from china during the initial phase of the outbreak. They called it wrong they call it wrong they really they missed a call they could have called it months earlier they would have known and they should have known and they probably didnt and so well be looking into that very carefully and were going to put a hold on money spent to the w h o l put a very powerful hold on it and were going to see its a great thing if it works but when they call every shot wrong thats not good. The ban on flights from china was one of the recommendations the president s Economic Advisor made in a memorandum sent to the National Security council at the end of february peter numbers are also warned that as many as 600000 americans could lose their lives navarro sent a 2nd memorandum a month later and this time he included the president on the distribution list he said that between 2 and 3000000 americans could die he also specified the medical supplies the government would need to opting to prepare this included a 1000000000 face masks 11000 ventilators and 25000 respirators memorandum was largely ignored. President trump denies he ever sold the documents yes sir mr dooley is to the pharmacy present in just this prison out this today so if you learned about the family today which is maybe a day going to feeling among your staff or your very own self should have told you something that really were there was a recommendation was a feeling that he had i think he told certain people in this but it didnt matter i didnt see it the president told reporters the contents of the documents would not have changed the way hes acted and then left the briefing after saying he would greet them later. Mike hanna aljazeera washington chammy kunene deck is a public count thanks fred who would guidelines under the obama administrations law the u. S. Government should respond to a pandemic he says the tramp why house has disregarded that advice what it contained was a sort of checklist a set of triggers to identify when the disease was posing a risk and when the United States government should begin triggering preparedness and things like coronavirus Novel Coronavirus were specifically cited in there the risk of a respiratory virus with the fish and human to human transmission and a significant significant fatality rate was specifically cited in there as a concern and then it listed a number of things that the country should begin to do work on diagnostic testing check the p. P. Supply and make sure p. P. Supply is sufficient begin planning for mass casualty events in our Hospital System you know all of that was in there all of that based on that playbook should have been triggered by the january on the january 30 date when the Public Health emergency of International Concern was declared but that was disregarded and thats why i think it really isnt it really isnt quite right to blame the w. H. O. For our own lack of preparedness had they followed the playbook they would have begun kicking things into gear on january 30th instead what they did was they instituted these travel bans but didnt really focus on domestic preparedness and you know for all the criticism of w h os. Dislike for those travel bans part of that comes from the fact that a travel ban sometimes an alibi allows you to escape doing other things so you know this administration talks up the travel ban but you know they were focused on that instead of focusing where they needed to be which was on domestic preparedness im not sure why the president has chosen to pick this fight right now he spent the last 2 months largely praising w. H. O. And you know in general i think w. H. O. Has been further ahead of the curve in understanding the risk of this than his own administration so i dont think theyre the one to be blamed for the sluggish u. S. Response.
