Dr. Rick Bright, the whistleblower abruptly fired after pushing back against the Trump administration, described an urgent need to develop a national plan to combat the coronavirus to avoid disastrous overlap with the regular flu season. Failure to do so will be “devastating for our health care systems [and] for Americans,” he said in congressional testimony on Thursday.

“I believe we could have done better,” Bright told the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health. “I believe there were critical steps we did not take in time.”

“The urgent need for funding at the outset of a pandemic is something that we’ve known about,” Bright said. President Donald Trump has faced relentless criticism for his administration’s delay in forming a coherent federal response to the crisis that has crippled the economy and killed more than 84,000 Americans so far.

“We knew going into this pandemic that critical medical equipment would be in short supply. I began getting alerts from industry colleagues in mid- and late January telling me that, from an outside view, the supply chain was diminishing rapidly, telling me that other countries that we relied on to supply many of these masks were blocking exports and stopping transfer of these masks to the United States,” Bright told the subcommittee.

When he alerted Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar to these alarming shortages, however, Bright said the responses he received ranged from officials claiming they were “too busy,” they didn’t know who was in charge, or they had a sick child at home and would deal with the issue later.

Bright was removed last month as director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services charged with developing drugs and vaccines. A federal agency found “reasonable grounds to believe” that the Trump White House fired him in retaliation for telling the administration how it needed to prepare to combat COVID-19, including testing on hydroxychloroquine, an unproven drug touted by President Donald Trump.

“I was told that my urgings were causing a commotion,” Bright told the committee, saying that he was then removed from planning meetings.

Bright said the U.S. lacks a plan to rein in the virus, warning that “time is running out.” In his prepared remarks, he stressed the importance of securing a supply chain for vital health care equipment needed by hospitals in addition to materials that will be required to mass-produce treatments and vaccines.

Failure to secure and increase supply of N95 masks, swabs and syringes, he said, “put a lot of lives at risk in our frontline health care workers,” and the federal government’s failure to work together on a plan to deal with the virus certainly “lengthened our timeline to reopening.”

Obama:

Despite all the time that’s been lost, we can still make real progress against the virus, protect people from the economic fallout, and more safely approach something closer to normal if we start making better policy decisions now.https:

There is zero evidence the lockdown had any effect whatsoever, 66% of deaths from NYC were of people under lock down.

PISSED it away!

Galactically stupid. A lockdown/social distancing lowers the R0 value. That is an undisputed fact.

RICK BRIGHT IS A LYINGASS, SELF-AGGRANDIZING LEFTIST BITCH, WHO WANTS HIS "TURN" IN THE SPOTLIGHT.

EVERYTHING HE BITCHED ABOUT HAS BEEN DONE, AND HE SIGNED THE PAPERS SEEKING THE FDA APPROVAL OF HYDROXICHLOROQUINE.

Agreed with Dr. Bright, but disagreed with putting it all on the POS Coward-in-Chief. Congress owns a huge, if not majority, slice of the blame.

Can we glance at the doctors past predictions to get an idea of his track record?

Galactically stupid. A lockdown/social distancing lowers the R0 value. That is an undisputed fact.

The undisputed fact is you have zero evidence that the lock down did a fucking thing, why were more people hospitalized who were in non-essential jobs and stayed home you dumb fuck? How does a "lock down" do anything to stop the spread when the main businesses people frequent daily like gas stations, big box and grocery stores are still open? Do Walmarts automatic sliding doors magically block the coronavirus from entering? Do gas pump handles piss lysol? Do debit card scanners develop anti-bodies?


66% of N.Y. coronavirus hospitalizations are people who stayed home
About two-thirds of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in New York became infected even though they said they'd been observing lockdown restrictions. Dr. Jon Baugh joined CBSN to talk about the state's startling new statistic.

https://www.cbsnews.com/video/66-of-...o-stayed-home/

Now kindly fuck off with your bullshit values from your bullshit predictive model estimates that have been proven 100% wrong starting with the fake pseudoscientific study from Imperial College and Neil Ferguson which Fauci and Birx used to convince Trump to shut down the economy.

What is a known fact is that the only way to quash a respiratory virus is to develop a herd immunity thus denying the virus new hosts and preventing a relapse down the road.
