Our Letter to Congress on @WHO Withdrawal from Public Health, Law and International Relations Leaders oneill.law.georgetown.edu/letter-to-cong…
So tragic how if the White House had owned this epidemic, even with past mistakes, we could have gone into containment mode across the nation. We could still do this in time for the fall, and safely reopen schools, colleges, even have a college football season, the NFL, NBA, NHL
But several things have to happen: 1) White House needs to explain to the American public our dire situation, 2) prioritize a federal strategy, and 3) CDC needs to operate in a different way, and take a leadership role, instead the usual the states are in charge and we advise.
Making those 3 stars align would require some serious political will and commitment. But for now it's all about denying the depth and breadth of our public health crisis, and deflect by blaming the Chinese Communist Party, WHO, and soon the scientists
