История о том, как была разогнана команда Национального совета безопасности по борьбе с пандемиями.
In 2018, Trump fired Tom Bossert, whose job as homeland security adviser on the NSC included coordinating the response to global pandemics. Bossert was not replaced. Last year, Rear Adm. Tim Ziemer, the NSC's senior director for global health security and biodefense, left the council and was not replaced. Dr. Luciana Borio, the NSC's director for medical and biodefense preparedness, left in May 2018 and was also not replaced. In an October op-ed in The Washington Post, national security adviser Robert O'Brien described the Obama National Security Council as having "ballooned to well over 200 staffers," and he said he intended "to reduce the NSC staff." Said a former senior U.S. official, "For the first time since 9/11, you don't have someone directly and immediately reporting to the president responsible 24/7 for the major transnational threats we face - terror, cyber, pandemics."... )
Much of the intelligence community’s tasking on the issue of global health and pandemics comes from the National Security Council, which will ask the agencies questions it needs answered. That has led former officials to express concern about the departure of national security staffers with relevant expertise-including Adm. Tim Ziemer, the NSC’s former senior director for global health security and biodefense who left in 2018 and is now a senior official at USAID

Немного истории. В 2014 Трамп и его верный Твиттер сыграли ключевую роль в распространении истерики про Эболу.
The air ambulance crossed the Atlantic for the first time on August 1, 2014, to pick up Brantly. At that same moment, somewhere in a skyscraper in New York City, Donald Trump opened his Twitter app. “Stop the EBOLA patients from entering the U.S. Treat them, at the highest level, over there. THE UNITED STATES HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS!” Trump tweeted first, at 8:22 a.m. Thirteen hours later, as the air ambulance prepared to bring Brantly home, Trump added: “The U.S. cannot allow EBOLA infected people back. People that go to far away places to help out are great-but must suffer the consequences!” An analysis by the White House’s Office of Digital Strategy later found that Trump’s tweets represented a turning point, the moment when fear of the deadly virus began to infect the American public. Trump kept tweeting. In all, the self-admitted germaphobe tweeted about Ebola nearly a hundred times over the next three months. He was among

За две недели до выборов в Конгресс 2014 Трамп ездил в Айову на помощь Стиву Кингу.
Donald Trump, headed to Iowa this weekend to fundraise for a Republican lawmaker, says the Ebola crisis is more “proof of the president’s incompetence” that could ultimately hurt Democrats at the polls in November. Speaking by phone with The Daily Caller, the New York businessman sharply criticized President Barack Obama for refusing to restrict commercial flights from Ebola-stricken countries in Africa. An increasing number of Republicans, like Speaker of the House John Boehner, have called on Obama to enact a temporary flight ban. “It’s incredible,” Trump said of Obama. “Nobody can understand it. He’s either stubborn, incompetent, not smart, listening to the wrong people. Nobody can understand it.” Asked how he thinks Ebola will affect the midterms, Trump said, “It shows in one sense that Obama continues to be incompetent. Because he’s not stopping the flights to and from West Africa, which are the hotspots…It is just madness.” On Saturday, Trump

Donald Trump said on Monday morning there are some simple reasons he doesn’t trust the U.S. government to handle the Ebola outbreak. Among them: Obamacare and Benghazi. Trump, who has been vocal about Ebola, made his comments during a call to the Fox News show “Fox and Friends.” “I think very few people trust our government as being competent,” Trump told the hosts. <...> On Monday, Trump also questioned the reassurances of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “It’s interesting, I watch all the time where this gentleman from CDC is saying you don’t catch it, you can’t catch it, it’s almost like impossible to catch,” Trump said. “And yet an NBC reporter goes over there, a photographer, and gets Ebola. And I’m trying to find out how did he get it? I mean, what did he do to get it? I can’t imagine he was touching lots of folks. That’s what he was over there for. So how did he end up, that’s going to be an interesting one. How did this gentleman catch Ebola?”Reply
Something very important, and indeed society changing, may come out of the Ebola epidemic that will be a very good thing: NO SHAKING HANDS! - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 4, 2014
The CDC says you should avoid shaking hands due to coronavirus.
