Whenever the novel coronavirus is discussed on CNN, there are two points that are hammered every time.

1. Trump's "cuts" to the CDC caused the epidemic in America

2. Trump squandared the time China bought us

This leads me to believe Xi Jinping is attempting to influence our election. Foreign inteference!

100% debunked, beyond contest. But let's not allow that to interfere with the narrative.

Currently, more Americans have died by the Clintons than by the coronavirus.

Both claims are demonstrably wrong.

Just more Fake News.

They should check out Obama response time with H1N1 in 2009.

Never happened. At some point CNN should be liable for the deliberate lie.

China did not bring us the time. Trump's travel ban did. CDC squandered it.
Insofar as the CDC works for Trump, I guess you could hold Trump responsible.

The key to stopping spread is recognition of the disease.
The CDC knows that. It is basic, basic stuff.
The key to recognition is onsite immediate testing.
The CDC knows that. It is basic, basic stuff.

The CDC had a month to orchestrate wide-distribution of tests.
It screwed the pooch.

Not only were CDC COVID-19 tests under-requested/underproduced. They contained contaminated reagent which produced false positive results, and were all recalled. They pissed away all of the three weeks Trump's China travel bought them.

CDC's massive screw up is being investigated. So in terms of future response, hopefully such BS will never occur again.

Azar appeared on TV yesterday and seemed to be double-talking the CDC testing situation. That kind of response will get eaten up as duplicitous, and rightfully so. The CDC screwed up. OWN IT.

As James Sherman said, "You can’t go back and make a new start, but you can start right now and make a brand new ending." Azar and others in this Administration should heed Sherman's advice.

Ironically, things would probably have been better if China hadn't attempted to corral it.

God,I hate to defend CNN but I did just watch a segment with Brooke Burke interviewing Andrew Cuomo and its the most rational discussion I've seen on the network.

Of course 90% was coming from Cuomo who wasn't blaming DJT or anyone else in the administration.He wasn't overly concerned and laid out a completely rational response to
Burke's questioning and of course she had a completely constipated/disgusting look on her face...the one she makes when ANYONE strays from the CNN narrative.
