U.S. Health Workers Responding to Coronavirus Lacked Training and Protective Gear, Whistle-Blower Says Team members were not properly trained, lacked necessary gear and moved freely around and off military bases where Americans were quarantined, a complaint says.
Federal health employees interacted with Americans quarantined for possible exposure to the coronaviruswithout proper medical training or protective gear, then scattered into the general population, according to a government whistle-blower who lawmakers say faced retaliation for reporting concerns.
U.S. Health Workers Responding to Coronavirus Lacked Training and Protective Gear, Whistle-Blower Says Team members were not properly trained, lacked necessary gear and moved freely around and off military bases where Americans were quarantined, a complaint says.
Federal health employees interacted with Americans quarantined for possible exposure to the coronaviruswithout proper medical training or protective gear, then scattered into the general population, according to a government whistle-blower who lawmakers say faced retaliation for reporting concerns.
“I soon began to field panicked calls from my leadership team and deployed staff members expressing concerns with the lack of H.H.S. communication and coordination, staff being sent into quarantined areas without personal protective equipment, training or experience in managing public health emergencies, safety protocols and the potential danger to both themselves and members of the public they come into contact with,” the whistle-blower wrote. House Democrats said on Thursday that the official who voiced concerns to superiors about the situation was subjected to professional retaliation.
In a narrative prepared for Congress, the whistle-blower painted a grim portrait of staff members who found themselves suddenly thrust into a federal effort to confront the coronavirus in the United States. The whistle-blower said their own health concerns were dismissed by senior administration officials as detrimental to staff “morale.” They were “admonished,” the complainant said, and “accused of not being team players,” and had their “mental health and emotional stability questioned.”
这个WHISTLEBLOWER马后炮吧，CDC是无能，他也是其中一员，他给上司提建议了吗？ 如果提了被上司否决那就指名道姓看是谁的责任。早不BLOW, 现在大家紧张起来才BLOW? 媒体炒作一个WHILEBLOWER有利于打击川普政府，恐怕这个才是目的 monmon 发表于 2/28/2020 11:02:46 AM
The whistleblower also reported that when staff raised safety concerns, they were 'admonished by (redacted) for 'decreasing staff morale,' accused of not being team players, and had their mental health and stability questioned.'" The whistleblower also alleges she was unfairly reassigned after raising concerns.

NY Times 这样的大报不会在没有多方取证的情况下发布这种信息的，所以我相信事情的确如此，而且这个现在请了律师要打官司，更不可能是无中生有了。加州那个不清楚传染源的病人很可能就是被这些staff传染上的，据说离这个空军基地不远。 purplebasil 发表于 2/28/2020 11:01:00 AM
彻底无语！美国吹哨人：空军隔离处医护无training, 无防护服随便乱走 U.S. Health Workers Responding to Coronavirus Lacked Training and Protective Gear, Whistle-Blower Says Team members were not properly trained, lacked necessary gear and moved freely around and off military bases where Americans were quarantined, a complaint says.

首先，我同意需要调查，如果是假的，再追查动机，如果是真的，动机不动机都不重要了。 第二，你是不是误会人家吹的是什么哨了？她抱怨的是接待人员没有足够的培训和防护，是她被穿小鞋。她抱怨的不是放出病人 or 已经发生了交叉感染。“I soon began to field panicked calls from my leadership team and deployed staff members expressing concerns with the lack of H.H.S. communication and coordination, staff being sent into quarantined areas without personal protective equipment, training or experience in managing public health emergencies, safety protocols and the potential danger to both themselves and members of the public they come into contact with,”

我看到防护服了啊！BTW，nytimes我记得一直是被龙虾党控制的啊！
我注意了，飞机上的防护服是负压防护服。 但并不确定在基地里，大家都有防护服。
你去读原文，头五天根本不当回事！最后这些没防护的都各自回家，散落各地。撤侨就是把他们撤回来让各地医护去传染了带回美国各地？天佑美国！
纽时竟然会发这个我也很惊讶。但是这个新闻价值太大，他们不报，别人会报。
开始撤侨的时候，CDC 根本就没打算隔离，后来不知道是不是舆论压力下改成隔离三天，后来德国出事了才改的隔离14天。
纽约时报发这个不挺正常的吗？为啥惊讶？不是纽时就会有Washington post，总会有人报的
NY Times 这样的大报不会在没有多方取证的情况下发布这种信息的，所以我相信事情的确如此，而且这个现在请了律师要打官司，更不可能是无中生有了。加州那个不清楚传染源的病人很可能就是被这些staff传染上的，据说离这个空军基地不远。
这个whistle blower 的代理律师跟多个媒体接触，现在各大媒体都报了，确实不明白有什么惊讶的。就像国内现在说制度优越性一样，这自由媒体就是美国的制度优越性之一。
根本就不是医务人员。文章里写的很清楚，这些人就是负责撤侨的，以前都是从战乱之类的地方撤回来的人，没有处理过从瘟疫撤回来的人。
DHS的头日常主要工作和防疫关系不大，这个我觉得对他苛求了。
你看了文章吗？？？他当时就表达了concern，结果被上司说不是team player，影响morale。后来还被调职。。所以他现在要打官司！美国也不是完美无暇的，美国制度最大的优势就是民可以诉官，人民可以监督政府。不要把国内压制言论的那一套搬过来，美国不能有李文亮。

有道理
希望美国版小强能够当机立断，果断的把这几个部门的负责人换成能做实事的。
这次CDC的反应就是闲庭信步啊。
The whistleblower also reported that when staff raised safety concerns, they were 'admonished by (redacted) for 'decreasing staff morale,' accused of not being team players, and had their mental health and stability questioned.'"

很好，指出谁跟她说影响morale了吗？senior administration officials都是谁？
显然是有名有姓的，不然哪里会有case？打官司，不是打嘴仗，需要证据的。但是什么时候披露什么消息，律师会有他的考虑。这个当事人现在不会自己面对媒体的，律师会替她出面。大家坐好了，花生瓜子都准备好，剧情后面会慢慢展开的。
文章本身并没有把什么都算在Trump头上啊！文章里说的关键点是两个，第一，他们没有防护，第二，whistleblower被穿小鞋。
好吧，赌一毛钱这代表律师这个CASE是带有政治目的的，手段跟乌克兰通话指控差不多。
提到“senior administration officials”...我公司的恨川派都已经迅速解读是川普的责任了
这个。。。
我政治中立，只想知道：第一，他们有没有防护，第二，whistle blower 有没有被穿小鞋。如果答案是yes，那么卫生部和CDC都有责任。
Trump只能算senior administration officials？他离whistle blower 的顶头上司差多少级别啊？是不是我儿子今天打个喷嚏也要算在Trump头上？
她要打官司不是因为被上司批评，而是要被调岗位，不同意的话就开除。她认为自己历年都是high performer，这个调岗是对她举报的retaliation。
对的！
记得武汉回来的那拨儿，不仅一起吃饭，还一起聚会开 party
mm你说自己是中立的，但是你说的这句话会被别人当作极右
我记得最开始的时候是要把飞机降落在民用机场，然后就各回各家各找各妈！后来估计是反对声浪太大，才改在空军基地。一开始只打算隔离3天，后来才改成14天。。。这次的操作真的是太神了！
这个可能都有一些，但是她被穿小鞋不一定是因为她提了建议。也可能是内部政治斗争，她跑去民主党派律师那互相勾结编个whistle blower的故事打击自己政敌
在极左的眼里，我当然是极右。so what？
我不在乎别人看我是左是右，我只在乎这些没有防护的人有没有被感染，有没有对社区造成巨大威胁，上级对于raise concern的人有没有retaliate。
我同意CDC和卫生部门的无能腐败不一定是川普的责任，但是事实就是这些都被左派媒体spin成是川普的问题。
again, 背后的目的我不关心，我只关心空军基地内部发生了什么事情。就好象乌克兰那事，Trump调查Biden的背后动机不重要，重要的是Biden是不是干了应该被调查的事。
决定选举的中间派群众不傻，上次不是选了川普吗？这次事实怎么样大家自有决断。
明白
赞
我只想给你点赞。一堆诛心论混淆视听的，跟国内高唱帝国主义亡我之心不死的粉毛真是没半点区别。。
我相信，早好多天前就有爆料，那些撤侨的隔离区大家一起吃一起玩，毫无防护，连测都只给测有症状的。撤侨民众自己也很担心，他们还联合起来提了几大诉求，希望能分开隔离，分开吃饭，分开活动，全体都测试。。。但后来就没有消息了，看来是根本没有改进。完全不理解CDC和撤侨管理部门为什么要这么做，是嫌新冠在美国爆不起来吗，真是太气人了！
mm说得太好了。要是大家（群众，政客，所有人）都能就事论事，不要但凡什么事情都politicize 就好了。可惜这只是理想。
庸官害人啊
是啊，武汉回来的几百人是运气，没有什么阳性的。公主号回来的340人，上飞机时还没有有症状的，到现在还没有全测完，已经有43个阳性了。如果按照当初武汉撤侨的做法，这340人最后也得跟游轮上一样团灭。当然，也说不定后来又测出来的这么多，有些就是在本土隔离基地被传上的。
New York Times刚刚就因为传播假新闻，被抓了现行。一开始说Fauci被封口，现在已经小字retract了。
NYtimes 华盛顿邮报，早就被认证是反川报了。不过他们监督CDC应该给赞。政府部门应该被监督。
官僚太久了，就跟FBI一样，里面都不知道无能到什么地步呢。
川普需要开启对CDC的调查，他虽然不是CDC的头儿，但整个administration，他是最终复责人。就像一个上市公司做假账，可能只是一个会计经理经手，但CFO要承担最终责任
首先，我同意需要调查，如果是假的，再追查动机，如果是真的，动机不动机都不重要了。
第二，你是不是误会人家吹的是什么哨了？她抱怨的是接待人员没有足够的培训和防护，是她被穿小鞋。她抱怨的不是放出病人 or 已经发生了交叉感染。“I soon began to field panicked calls from my leadership team and deployed staff members expressing concerns with the lack of H.H.S. communication and coordination, staff being sent into quarantined areas without personal protective equipment, training or experience in managing public health emergencies, safety protocols and the potential danger to both themselves and members of the public they come into contact with,”
这个吹哨人是卫生部的，你可以看看原文。他说的是卫生部送去的工作人员没有防护服，没有training，但是他有提到CDC送去的人是有穿防护服的。然后更加让卫生部的人觉得自己没有保护。所以美国卫生部部长应该下台。作为美国卫生部竟然对病毒这么不了解，这么轻视，怪不得美国从上到下都是轻松的态度。CDC又是业务能力非常差的，搞个试剂盒，那么久都搞不出来。卫生部加上CDC就变成了美国抵御病毒不力的现状！
CDC几周才测了几百个，现在又故作深沉的说健康人不用口罩，其实CDC也不知道谁不健康，现在不管健康不健康根本买不到口罩，不是用不用口罩的问题。
