BUtterfield 8 41,818 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 President Trump on Friday deflected blame for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) slow coronavirus testing process, saying former President Obama "made changes that only complicated things further." "For decades the @CDCgov looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it," Trump tweeted. "It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped," he added. "President Obama made changes that only complicated things further." In a follow-up tweet, Trump said the Obama administration's response to H1N1 influenza "was a full scale disaster with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now." The CDC's testing process has been a target of criticism as the coronavirus has spread throughout the United States. Instead of using the World Health Organization's test kit, the CDC decided to make its own test, which slowed its response. Once the tests were finally rolled out, they weren't fully effective. "We're weeks behind because we had this problem," Scott Becker, chief executive officer of the Association of Public Health Laboratories told ProPublica at the end of February. "We're usually up-front and center and ready." https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/487404-trump-blames-obama-for-coronavirus-testing-issues-says-changes-have?amp&__twitter_impression=true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 MORE LIES. "Trump said the Obama administration made a decision that "turned out to be very bad" for detecting the COVID-19 virus. The White House pointed to a new FDA policy that made it easier for labs to use their own methods to detect the COVID-19 virus. But the FDA never had firm legal authority over those labs. The new policy still asks labs to apply for Emergency Use Authorization. The shift is that once they apply, they can get to work before getting the nod from the FDA. The policy that had been in place had its roots in guidance that dates to at least 2007, and before that, to a 2004 law, before Obama took office. We rate this claim False." https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/mar/06/donald-trump/trump-wrongly-blames-obama-limits-coronavirus-test/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
