The criticism of the United States ‘governing bodies comes from one of the United States’ leading health experts, Dr. Anne Schuchat, who is deputy director of the infection control agency at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Diseases (CDC). Criticism includes and his own workplace.
He says that the delimitation of the evidence and the overly cautious entry into areas other than China greatly contributed to the coronavirus spreading rapidly in the United States since late February.
– We did not acknowledge the seriousness of what was happening, Schuchat says regarding the CDC’s publication of an article by him on the United States’ response.
Harder frame
The corona virus first appeared in China last year, but since then the United States has been the most affected country in the world, with a third of all cases infected and more than a quarter of all deaths.
More than 1.1 million Americans are infected, and more than 64,000 have died, according to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, which has an updated vision of Stoda in more than 200 countries and territories.

United States President Donald Trump goes on to point out that on January 31 he ordered that foreigners who had been in China the previous 14 days should come to the United States.
But Schuchat notes that there were 2 million travelers from Italy and other European countries in February, and it wasn’t until March 11 that the United States stopped entry from there.
– The extensive entry of Europe as outbreaks occurred there led to further importation of the virus and rapid spread, she says.
She notes, among others, that more than 100 people who had been on the Nile cruise in February and early March tested positive when they arrived in the United States.
Explosive effect
In the article, Schuchat also points to the explosive effect that several large gatherings of people had in February, including another Boston investigative conference, the New Orleans Mardi Gras carnival and a cemetery in Albany, Georgia.

The report appears to deviate from the idea that China’s entry ban was important to slow the spread of the virus, says Jason Schwartz, a professor at Yale University.
He also says that one of the worst aspects of the United States’ response is that the federal government has largely ignored the CDC. CDC is responsible for detecting and preventing only the type of infectious disease that is coronavirus.
