After being bombarded by Trump, the US media issued a long article to expose the "behind the failure" of the White House anti-epidemic

[Universal Times correspondent in the United States Zhang Mengxu Wei Hui Liu Yupeng] Following the “throwing the pan” WHO and accusing “Voice of America” of “promotion for China”, the White House pointed the finger at another target, the New York Times. On the 11th, US President Trump vigorously accused the newspaper of “tracing the origin of the new coronavirus to Europe, not China”. A few days ago, the New York Times quoted several medical experts as saying that the virus in the New York area "was mainly brought by European travelers, not from Asia." This caused strong dissatisfaction with Trump, who has been bragging about "imposing a travel ban on China very early." The New York Times was not weak, and a long article was published that day, through a lot of insider disclosure and a detailed timeline, supporting the Trump administration ’s “response to the failure of the new coronavirus”. On the same day when the two were torn apart, the United States ushered in a "terrible milestone"-the death toll caused by the new coronary pneumonia epidemic exceeded 20,000, the United States surpassed Italy as the country with the largest number of cumulative deaths, and all 50 US states entered the "significant "Disaster" status. "Washington Post" lamented that the situation in Italy has now eased, while the United States is still in the "climbing" stage of the epidemic curve, new cases are rising almost every day.

The New York Times, which was insulted by Trump, was unwilling to be outdone. He published a long and in-depth report on the 11th, entitled "He could have foreseen what will happen: behind Trump's failure on the virus." The article carefully sorted out the timeline that the White House missed in response to the epidemic. Among the early key points include: 1. The Office of the National Security Council responsible for tracking the epidemic received an intelligence report in early January, predicting that the virus will spread to the United States, and in Within weeks, options for keeping Americans away from work and closing cities such as Chicago were proposed, and Trump did not take these measures until March. 2. Despite Trump ’s denial now, someone told him at the time that his trade adviser Navarro detailed the potential risks of the virus pandemic in a memo submitted on January 29: up to 500,000 People died, causing trillions of dollars in economic losses. 3.1. On the 30th, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Aza directly warned Trump in a telephone conversation that a pandemic might occur. This is the second time he has warned the president of the virus in two weeks. Trang Pu responded that Aza was making alarmist calls ...

The report also disclosed some inside information. The top disaster officer of the US Department of Health and Human Services, Robert Cardrek, convened the White House New Crown Virus Working Group meeting on February 21, at which the working group deduced the spread of the epidemic, predicting that the outbreak will cause 110 million infections and 7.7 million hospitalizations , 586,000 people died. The working group concluded that although it may impact the national economy and affect the daily lives of hundreds of millions of Americans, it should still implement the "maintain social distance" measure. However, it was not until more than three weeks that Trump ordered the implementation of the "maintain social distance" measure on March 16.

Since then, Nancy Mason Neil, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, has given the public a more serious warning than ever before on February 25, and called on businesses, schools and communities to prepare for possible outbreaks. But after Trump returned from his visit to India on February 26, he was very angry about it. Robert Redfield, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), had to come out to extinguish the fire personally, saying that Masoniell's remarks were inaccurate. Kudlow, director of the White House National Economic Council, made the exact opposite prediction later that day. He said: "The situation is under control. I will not say that it is impeccable, but it is quite close to impeccable."

The New York Times also published a review article titled "Is Trump still Human?", Accusing Trump of "praising himself proudly" when thousands of Americans died. Except for some new insider information, the timeline disclosed by the New York Times is basically consistent with the long-term survey published by the Washington Post on the 4th of this month, titled "During the Coronavirus Rage, the United States is in a dilemma of denial and dysfunction." The latter report counted 70 days wasted by the US government.

The Associated Press also issued a similar investigation on the 12th, revealing how the Trump administration ignored the warning and eventually caused an outbreak in the United States. The article mentioned that in addition to being dragged down by the impeachment case in the early days, Trump has been reluctant to admit that the main reason for the severity of the epidemic is fear of impacting the economy-this is the key to his belief that he can be re-elected.
