U.S. physicians, researchers and public health experts⁠—many connected to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention⁠—were working at WHO’s Geneva headquarters as part of a years-long rotation, the Post reported, and they provided information about the coronavirus to the White House as it emerged late last year.

CDC officials were consulting with their WHO counterparts since the outbreak began, with sensitive information being shared with U.S. officials (including Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar) in a CDC secure facility, the Post reported.

The WHO often told CDC about its plans or announcements days in advance, the Post reported, citing an unnamed CDC official.

Trump earlier blamed WHO for delays in response to the virus as well as a lack of transparency, but an April 11 New York Times report said warnings issued to the administration by different parts of the federal government in January and February were ignored.

Not that kind of bird! Ivanka Trump is roasted on Twitter after suggesting bored Americans could spend their Saturday night making shadow animal puppets - only to have people send her the middle finger

Ivanka Trump was promptly roasted on Twitter after she suggested bored Americans could spend their Saturday night making shadow animal puppets
She tweeted: 'Looking for a Saturday night activity? Try making shadow puppets from Henry Bursill's recently unearthed 1860's book of engraving...'
Her idea quickly backfired when people responded to her tweet with their own shadow puppets – not shaped as an animal but a middle finger
Another poked fun at Trump, replying with an image of him as a dummy sitting on the lap of a ventriloquist Vladimir Putin, commenting: 'Speaking of puppets'
Ivanka has already come under fire this month for not heeding her own advice to stay at home during the coronavirus pandemic
She made a trip with her husband Jared Kushner and three children to their 'second home' at her father's Bedminster, New Jersey golf club for Passover

The first day President Trump mentioned the coronavirus in public, only one American was known to be infected. He assured the rest of the country it had no reason to worry.

“We have it totally under control,” Trump said Jan. 22 from Davos, Switzerland. “It’s going to be just fine.”

Behind the scenes, however, even some of his close aides thought the virus posed a much greater threat to the nation and to Trump.

Three months later, the United States leads the world in reported numbers of people infected and killed by the virus, with more than 39,000 dead. States, counties and local hospitals are desperately bidding against one another for scarce ventilators and other lifesaving equipment in a marketplace dominated by chaos, profiteering and fraud. And the country's economy is in free fall, with more than 20 million Americans filing unemployment claims in the last month.

Squirrel is back!

He is screaming again.

The Missus would rather him nag us than nag her.


He's screaming. He is not making sense, but he is giving us an earful.
