The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with a budget of more than $6 billion, was created to deal with emergency situations such as the coronavirus contagion.
CDC Director Robert Redfield, has been “actively engaged in clinical research and clinical care of chronic human viral infections and infectious diseases” for more than 30 years. Even so, when the CDC held a February 25 telebriefing update on COVID, Dr. Redfield was not the host.
Dr. Nancy Messonnier, Director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), fielded questions from the media. A reporter identified as Craig, from KNX 1070 news radio in Los Angeles, was curious about China.
“Is the Chinese government leveling with you?” Craig wanted to know. “Are they telling you the truth? Have they given you the straight dope, so to speak, as to what you need to know about the coronavirus?” Given the origin in Wuhan,, Craig posed a question of some significance.
“In terms of the Chinese government,” Messonnier responded, “there has been a WHO team on the ground in China as well in Wuhan. There are data coming out from those efforts. We have a lot of information from China.”
