Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump is expected to visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's headquarters in Atlanta this week as the US grapples with the novel coronavirus, an administration official told CNN on Sunday.
The President will also visit the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, on Tuesday, according to the White House. That trip will also be related to the effort against the coronavirus. Administration officials weighed having Trump visit the CDC weeks ago, but he never followed through on the initial plans, the official said. It's unclear if Vice President Mike Pence, who was recently placed in charge of the administration's response to the outbreak, will join the President on the trip. Pence says 15,000 additional testing kits in the mail for coronavirus Pence says 15,000 additional testing kits in the mail for coronavirus Politico first reported Trump would be making the trip to the CDC. The visit comes as Trump has fumed in recent days at Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Messonnier recently said of a potential outbreak in the US, "It's not so much of a question of if this will happen anymore but rather more of a question of exactly when this will happen." Trump thought officials like Messonnier were causing unnecessary alarm over the disease, which claimed the life of a man in Washington this weekend, marking the first US fatality. The now-deceased patient appears to have become ill through community spread, according to Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC, who spoke alongside the President at a briefing Saturday. This story has been updated with additional developments Sunday.
White House Names AIDS Expert Debbie Birx To Help Lead Coronavirus Response
The White House sought to show it was shoring up its efforts to corral the spread of coronavirus on Thursday, naming an internationally recognized HIV/AIDS expert as its new coronavirus response coordinator. Debbie Birx is a State Department ambassador-at-large who works on global health diplomacy issues. Vice President Pence said Birx would be detailed to his office. President Trump put Pence in charge of the response after the stock market plunged and federal health officials warned that Americans should prepare for disruptions if the new COVID-19 coronavirus worsens in the United States. The issue has quickly become political, and Democrats in Congress and on the campaign trail have panned Trump for minimizing the risks and failing to appoint a "czar" to lead to the response.

这地洗的可不要脸 武汉死的人晚上要去你家敲门了
几万号。
现在90例，你和一千多的浙江比。。。
这个只是个时间问题， 如果不强硬隔离的话。 不过目测美国人很难自我隔离， 大面积传播的话就拼谁的基因牛叉了。
武汉100例时候封城停航绝对不会搞成现在这个样子
国内不可能封的，最多是降低航班数外加隔离
有人夸CDC了吗？你给个链接吧。
我看到的都是骂的。
这个我不同意。现在美国悠哉悠哉的，各种娱乐活动大型聚会不取消。等盖不住了，美国人遭殃！美国人的免疫力不会比中国人高吧？那时候大家都不好过的！
专制的好处就是高效
封城会产生巨大的各方面的影响，对这个病的传播的认知是慢慢在痛苦的教训中摸索出来的，比如无症传染。武汉100例的时候估计根本不知道这病毒这么厉害。美国CDC，在中国封城后，无症传染报道后，还是一步步按照自己的认知来下达行政命令，慢了多少拍啊
没错 武汉人民用生命换来的知识就被漠视了
没错，新闻发布会上满不在乎的口吻，令人感觉他对防疫的事并不怎么上心，也不怎么在意人民的死活，不得不走个过场吧。与他对股市的重视和passion，那是不能比的。
这个时候还在带头大搞聚众拉力，完全无视CDC这一两个月来的无耻做派造成的严重后果，只不停说我们有great people did great job，实在没法再替他开脱
不说香港台湾，就是新加坡、加拿大都比中国的数据高一大截
为什么？中国作为瘟疫的原发国，死亡比例反而最低？因为医疗条件最好？还是因为，某些国家特别会撒谎，总是美好统计数据？

问题是传染病一旦失控就是一传十 十传百的翻倍的，你看意大利上周和这周的数字相比较，早期不控制就完蛋了
