WHO official leads criticism of Trump's coronavirus response
Source: Axios
Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, special advisor to the director general of the World Health Organization, told MSNBC Wednesday he found "most" of what President Trump said at his briefing on the novel coronavirus "incoherent."
The big picture: As the number of confirmed cases reaches 60 in the U.S., the top health professional who was a health policy adviser in the Obama administration is among several leading figures, in particular, Democrats, to criticize the president for his response to the outbreak.
Catch up quick: At the briefing, Trump said the risk to Americans is "very low" and the U.S. is "ready" for whatever comes next, as he announced Vice President Mike Pence would lead the administration's response to the virus.

Apparently the MAGAt-in-chief's fireside chat yesterday didn't do much to calm anyone.

(23,300 posts)The number is close to 60, he claims 15 and 5 within 2 days and 0 a few days afterward. Duh, that is all he does is lie and is the reason I didn't watch yesterday evening, never watch that ugly organge assmouth anymore if I can help it. The Pence thing is the only surprise and I didn't have to hear his lies about Democrats so a win for my blood pressure and sanity.
