Chris Hayes on HHS Whistleblower report: "This is real real real bad."
Chris Hayes ✔@chrislhayes
So here's what appears to be chain of events:
The Trump administration repatriated infected Americans over the objections of the CDC.
HHS then sent federal workers to interact with the infected population without adequate training or protection
Then those workers went out into the public with no monitoring or testing regime in place.
And now the first US-contracted case has appeared right near one of the airforce bases where this all happened.
When someone at HHS raised alarms about all this s/he was criticized for hurting morale and then ordered to another position or be fired.
This is real real real bad.

1. It was in the news a few days ago already that the CDC objected. Just saying. But glad it is

in the news again.

2. Who is science to think it knows better than the all mighty Trump?

3. Sounds like 45 is handling the COVID-19 the same way China did!

The Chinese doctor who tried to warn others about coronavirus

...Dr Li, 34, tried to send a message to fellow medics about the outbreak at the end of December. Three days later police paid him a visit and told him to stop. He returned to work and caught the virus from a patient. He had been in hospital for at least three weeks.

...On 30 December he sent a message to fellow doctors in a chat group warning them about the outbreak and advising they wear protective clothing to avoid infection.

What Dr Li didn't know then was that the disease that had been discovered was an entirely new coronavirus.

Four days later he was summoned to the Public Security Bureau where he was told to sign a letter. In the letter he was accused of "making false comments" that had "severely disturbed the social order".

"We solemnly warn you: If you keep being stubborn, with such impertinence, and continue this illegal activity, you will be brought to justice - is that understood?" Underneath in Dr Li's handwriting is written: "Yes, I do."

It's the "Shut up and do what I tell you" approach to democracy. Trump is a sociopath intending to kill us all.

4. They are clueless about PPE, decon and barrier technology. US is fucked. Moreover,

they are too arrogant to consider including the career experts, or admit they need assistance. Perfect storm. Sorta like Katrina, and Heckuva Job Brownie, only potentially way worse. It's almost as if, they want to fail?

5. Trump repatriated them with untrained, unquarantined and unprotected HHS workers.

People will die because of this.

6. And that's what gross incompetence gets you....

It's out of control. It's out of control and 2% of those infected will die, including many of the old rubes who voted for this shit show.

7. Jezus H. How fucking stupid are these mofos?

It NEVER ceases to amaze me how incompetent these people are.

[Brainfodder]

8. Apparently stupid enough to sign their brains off to Fox News & worse.....

HTF else are they still not getting it?

[rickyhall]

9. We're all gonna die. Dump thinks he's a doctor now. The best there ever was.

[Kaiserguy]

10. Dr Trump Kevorkian

In the case of the real Dr Kevorkian the people he help to die wanted to die. In Trumps case he is helping to kill people who don't want to die. Thanks again Trump voters for all that you have done to America. Idiots

12. The median age of people who have died from the virus has been 70+

Let's hope Trump gets to shake hands with some stealth carriers.

70 and older the deaths rate is significantly higher. Also if you consider or existing condition of patients who died, heart disease patients have a higher death rate and the 2nd highest is Diabetes. Look at all the people in the US with diabetes. And there are more of them in the South.

By ignoring the threat of the virus, Trump is killing off his own supporters.

[Farmer-Rick]

11. There are 2 cases with unknown origins on the record but...........

Since the US is not capable of testing because we are too incompetent, there are probably hundreds more to come.

[kacekwl]

13. So, Senate members of the party of trump

when you, your family, neighbors become infected will you consider removing the inept president and his incompetent ass kissers ?

[yaesu]

14. there is a little bit of good news today, the number of new cases in China has been declining

lets hope this continues.

[RussBLib]

15. I wonder if Trump is trying to infect California?

We know how Trump hates California. They sent those evacuated Americans to two military bases in California, then allowed unprotected govt employees to contact the evacuees without PPE, then just let them go home?

Sounds like they are trying to foment a virus outbreak in CA.
