“Trump, since you destroyed the WH unit designed to plan for pandemics like #COVID19, you need to stop being duplicitous about the DPA & get more corps to develop masks, respirators, & everything needed to protect hospital workers trying to save lives,” she said in the first of series of tweets attacking the president on Monday afternoon. “Get your act together!”
Waters was referring to the president’s decision to shutter a National Security Council pandemic directorate in 2018. Trump has received renewed criticism for the move as the country grapples with the COVID-19 outbreak, although functions of the unit that dealt with the tracking of possible threats from infectious diseases were picked up by another group in the security agency afterward.

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

She was not lying!
The NSC pandemic directorate WAS DISBANDED BY TRUMP...which is what she said.
Some minor functions of the unit were moved to other places...but if it had been in place where it should have been, the warnings would have come to Trump sooner.
Not that "coming sooner" would have done any good with that fucking, know-it-all moron.
ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...emic-programs/No, Trump didn’t shut down 37 of 47 global anti-pandemic program
The Facts
Murphy’s staff said the source of its information was a Washington Post article from early 2018. That article said, “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is dramatically downsizing its epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries because money is running out.” Similar articles appeared in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal at about the same time, all of which said the administration was planning to scale back or end activities in 39 out of 49 countries.
Murphy’s staff did not explain why his numbers were slightly different. Nor did they explain why they were relying on an article from 2018 when, presumably, a senator or his staff could quickly find out whether the funding reductions occurred.
At issue was an initiative called the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), which sought to help countries prepare to detect and respond to infectious diseases. The U.S. contribution was largely funded by a supplemental package passed in 2015 after the Ebola crisis that provided about $600 million to the CDC for global-health security work — and the money was running out.
It turns out the shutdown likely did not happen — in large part because of the publicity from the articles and the work of advocacy groups.
Brandon Ball, senior lead for congressional relations at PATH, a global health technology nonprofit group, tracked down the numbers for The Fact Checker. The fear in early 2018 was that there would be only a $58.2 million appropriation at a time when the supplemental was running low on funds. But then lawmakers, within weeks, nearly doubled the appropriation.
“That article was from February 2018, and the bump from $58.2 million to $108.2 million was part of the Omnibus in March 2018,” Ball said. “The bump wasn’t a given.”
Here’s a breakdown of the numbers. The Ebola supplemental ended in fiscal 2019, but then Congress increased the annual appropriation.
FY15: $55.1 million appropriation + $62 million supplemental (total: $117.1 million)
FY16: $55.2 million + $133 million ($188.2 million)
FY17: $58.2 million + $247 million ($305.2 million)
FY18: $108.2 million + $109 million ($217.2 million)
FY19: $108.2 million + $44 million ($152.2 million)
FY20: $183.2 million appropriation
FY21: $225 million (Trump administration request)
“Fortunately, because of a variety of factors — including PATH’s advocacy and congressional education work and that of the consortium [backing the GHSA] — we have seen the overall dollar amount move closer to the level that would mitigate what was being written about in 2018,” Ball said. “However, the job isn’t nearly done as covid-19 is demonstrating, which is why we are still advocating and [the CDC] is still working.”

CONFLICTING OPINIONS ON WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TEAM
In an op-ed for the Washington Post, Beth Cameron, former Senior Director for Global Health Security and Biodefense in the NSC, wrote, “When President Trump took office in 2017, the White House’s National Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense survived the transition intact.
“Its mission was the same as when I was asked to lead the office, established after the Ebola epidemic of 2014: to do everything possible within the vast powers and resources of the U.S. government to prepare for the next disease outbreak and prevent it from becoming an epidemic or pandemic. One year later, I was mystified when the White House dissolved the office, leaving the country less prepared for pandemics like covid-19” ( here ).
Three days later, Tim Morrison, former senior director for counterproliferation and biodefense on the NSC, wrote in another Washington Post Op-Ed, “It is true that the Trump administration has seen fit to shrink the NSC staff. But the bloat that occurred under the previous administration clearly needed a correction. … One such move at the NSC was to create the counterproliferation and biodefense directorate, which was the result of consolidating three directorates into one, given the obvious overlap between arms control and nonproliferation, weapons of mass destruction terrorism, and global health and biodefense. It is this reorganization that critics have misconstrued or intentionally misrepresented. If anything, the combined directorate was stronger because related expertise could be commingled” ( here )

It's very simple! It was as an OBAMA created department after the EBOLA crisis. He knew there was not a dedicated area of government to address and go into action when/if needed. Trump was/is still ABO! Anything But OBAMA. And people will lose their jobs, their life savings and THEIR LIVES as a result. It is that simple.
