What sleazy deal did Trump make with Erdogan? We don't know — but the mind reels

Trump's abandonment of the Syrian Kurds makes no sense — unless he cut a deal with Turkey's autocratic president

THREAD: In our federal system, local leaders get lot of discretion in reacting to local public health crisis. But #coronavirus, which may start regionally, is national threat. So how do we get Seattle to shut down their economy for good of nation? No city wants to go first 1/n
We’re losing valuable time. Longer we take to implement tough mitigation steps in areas of outbreak like Seattle, the larger, longer our epidemic curve will grow. Should we consider emergency economic aid for cities that implement tough measures to mitigate local outbreaks? 2/n
These outbreaks are local public health crises with direct national consequence. It’s a time for Congress to consider how we encourage states and cities to take tough local measures that sacrifice local economic activity for sake of nation. It’s time for collecting action. 3/n

THREAD: We can confront #coronavirus with science. We need a concerted effort now to develop diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics. What does this entail? 1. We must put significant money behind these efforts now. We have window of opportunity but we must seize this moment 1/n
2. Vaccines are possible but longer way off. We must crash development of drug therapeutics and antibodies that can be used for prophylaxis in those at greatest risk. This must be all of the above approach. It must be supported with a substantial supplemental from Congress. 2/n
3. We also need all of the above approach on diagnostics. This is a public health crisis even if we avoid epidemic here. The only way we’ll avert a bad outcome is to treat this like a crisis. We must put concerted effort behind lab tests, kits, and a point of care diagnostic 3/n

⚠️Trump's Coronavirus Response

💥#Trump Admin established a National Biodefense Strategy in *2018* specifically to deal with any biological risk to U.S. Citizens.

#covidー19 #covid19 #covid @cdcgov @realDonaldTrump #coronavirususa #caronavirusoutbreak

➡️ Read the thread 👇
Following the initial reports from China – and anticipating multiple agency aspects of U.S. government would need a unified command structure – on January 30th President Trump assembled a unified task force to coordinate all response efforts across the totality of government.
The task force is coordinated through the National Security Council. It is composed of subject matter experts from White House and several United States Government agencies, and it includes some of the Nation’s foremost experts on infectious diseases.

1/13 As threats of a serious pandemic loom, it becomes more and more obvious that Trump has sabotaged America’s coronavirus response

As it improvises its way through a public health crisis, the United States has never been less prepared for a pandemic. foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31/cor…
2/13 Early on, Trump's Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross suggested the coronavirus outbreak in China would boost the U.S. economy and help bring jobs back to America, a callous statement by any measure. thedailybeast.com/wilbur-ross-co… via @thedailybeast
3/13 Disinformation spread through the conspiracy wing of Trump's followers, the #QAnonsense movement, is pushing people to buy and drink BLEACH, marketed as “Miracle Mineral Solution” or “MMS”.
