[denmark]

More than 1,000 current and former officers of an elite disease-fighting program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have signed an open letter expressing dismay at the nation’s public-health response to the Covid-19 pandemic and calling for the federal agency to play a more central role.

“The absence of national leadership on Covid-19 is unprecedented and dangerous,” said the letter, signed by current and former officers of the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service of outbreak investigators.

Dr. Stehr-Green, who has worked for the CDC and state/local health departments, said “The CDC has written the book on epidemic preparedness and how to respond. Their expertise has been ignored to the detriment of us all.”

Respectfully, blow it out your ass. COVID-19, in its entirety, is a lie. Only in your warmest dreams do serving government officials assault their own President. Your soul, mind and body have been poisoned by vapid, vitriolic ideology and propaganda. Do wake up now, and soon. Otherwise you will be counted among the damned.

As noted in the OP, the CDC is a "federal agency," as such, leadership is the responsibility of the senior federal staff in the agency. The virus we are dealing with is a "pandemic," meaning it is all over the planet and everywhere, there are decreases in the infection, followed by spikes. Keeping a distance of 6 to 8 feet from another person, isn't a guarantee of not being infected. Because some individuals don't exhibit symptoms, those people are out in the community, spreading the infection, without knowing it. For all we know, a strong wind could spread the virus from a symptomless individual further than 10 feet.
Scientists have said that we are constantly at war with viruses and have also said that in the end, it could be a virus that wipes us out.
No matter how good any disease prevention agency is, peoples behavior and viruses can be unpredictable. The leadership in the CDC and NIH can be top notch and still not successfully win with this virus.

I don't recall CDC employees being called "officers" but if it sounds good have it your way. The alleged 1,000 signatures includes former and retired CDC "officers" who are out of the loop but apparently have strong political opinions. The fact is that there are around 10,500 active CDC employees who do their job without resorting to cheap political tactics. .

The absence of Federal leadership is the consequence of an absence of a competent president, someone fit to hold that office.

Even Murdock can't turn away anymore from the bullshit, pain and death Trump has caused.

[B. Kidd]

More than 1,000 current and former officers of an elite disease-fighting program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have signed an open letter expressing dismay at the nation’s public-health response to the Covid-19 pandemic and calling for the federal agency to play a more central role.

“The absence of national leadership on Covid-19 is unprecedented and dangerous,” said the letter, signed by current and former officers of the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service of outbreak investigators.

Dr. Stehr-Green, who has worked for the CDC and state/local health departments, said “The CDC has written the book on epidemic preparedness and how to respond. Their expertise has been ignored to the detriment of us all.”

More Than 1,000 Current and Former CDC Officers Criticize U.S. Covid-19 Response

It would appear that you are trying to infer that the current administration (Trump's administration) is responsible for the virus pandemic here. WRONG!
1. We wouldn't even be having the virus problem if China hadn't kept its problem under wraps and immediately shut down their travel.
2. Trump was the FIRST national leader to ban travel from China. Your left's response...."He's being xenophobic. Go out and mingle in Chinatown. There's nothing to be afraid of."
3. Trump was the FIRST national leader to ban travel from Europe. Your left's response...."He's negatively impacting the freedom travel and immigration."
If the left had been in charge from the beginning, our infection rate would have been significantly higher.
4. Between CDC and the NIH, Trump has been getting conflicting information as to an appropriate response to the virus pandemic and has also been trying to NOT take away from our Constitutional Bill of Rights in the process.
The bottom line is that the CDC and NIH are still the reigning agencies when it comes to pandemics, not the president or his administration. They can only act on those agencies recommendations and when they don't agree, well.....you try not to become authoritarian or violate our laws, while encouraging safety.
Wear masks, wash hands frequently and just live your life. Eventually, there will be a vaccine to prevent contracting the disease. Also, it has been shown that the death rate is overblown. The death rate for the average influenza is higher.
As a matter of a fact, I find it rather interesting that this novel virus just happened to be released by Communist China in our election year, while at the same time they were boasting that they would wreck the United States economy and the duplicitous leftist politicians have been doing all they could to actually destroy our economy. They have even said that to get rid of the current administration, the economy needed to be destroyed.
However, having said all that, if your belief is just that what this government needs is a strong one-party authoritarian government for uniform response and action, look no further than China. It fits that category and still can't get a handle on the virus that leaked out of there. Spikes and declines, spikes and declines.
It's a virus.
