The top White House official responsible for leading the U.S. response in the event of a deadly pandemic has left the administration, and the global health security team he oversaw has been disbanded under a reorganization by national security adviser John Bolton.
The abrupt departure of Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer from the National Security Council means no senior administration official is now focused solely on global health security. Ziemer’s departure, along with the breakup of his team, comes at a time when many experts say the country is already underprepared for the increasing risks of a pandemic or bioterrorism attack.

Show me the quote where I said the administration was doing “nothing.” The issue isn’t a matter of funding but more so coordination. We had a whole bunch of money during Katrina but that wasn’t managed right was it?

"The point is pandemic and bioterrorism is obviously not a priority for this administration." Basically to me, your saying the administration not taking this seriously. BTW you know more people have gotten the flu and died then this virus. This country is in great shape to handle this.

SFC David Rohe - Today is 15 March. You posted this response “17 d” ago. I presume that means 17 days ago which, by my reckoning, was 27 Feb.
You said, “This country is in great shape to handle this.” The President has been saying since then...
February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”
March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”
March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine-tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”
March 9: “This blindsided the world.”
The Country may be in great shape to handle it, but I’m not too sure about the President.

I think the President is doing a great job of handling it. He may not be well spoken, but his management in handling this has been spot on. Again, too many people have TDS and can't recognize the good he is doing. We could all be like the democrats and sneak BS into a bill to fight this, like Pelosi and the abortion money she tried to sneak through.

It was an Obama team, so of course Trump eliminated it. Does not matter if it was effective or not. All that matters to Trump and his followers is that it was an Obama team, so it had to go.
