'So, when you have political leaders and public health leaders coming at this with very different messaging, [and] when you don't see the political leadership supporting public health science, you lose trust.'

The CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases Director Nancy Messonier hadduring a press briefing days earlier, on Feb. 25, that"disruptions to everyday life may be severe" from closures.

The former directors also said the U.S. needs to take a more proactive stance in preventing the next pandemic. Gerberding recently co-chaired a report titled"Ending the Cycle of Crisis and Complacency in U.S. Global Health Security." "We have to be proactive," said Frieden."We have to build in peacetime so that we're more prepared when we're fighting a war against a virus or other microbe."Frieden said that even when a vaccine is approved,"COVID will still be there." He said a vaccine is only one part of the response.

ChrissieEvert NewsLive Mixed messages? Leadership? Bahahahaha! There is no leadership other than Fsuci and he has been accurate and rather blunt. If someone is waiting for 45, they will be there forever. TrumpFailsAmerica

NewsLive The people and lack of common sense is the problem.

NewsLive Interesting.

ChrissieEvert NewsLive Or no message from leasership because it is more important to win an election. Report that too!

NewsLive realDonaldTrump DoYourJob

NewsLive And mis-information from the msm EnemyOfThePeople

NewsLive And mid-information from the media EnemyOfThePeople

NewsLive Things would improve a lot if we got new Federal leadership, though it will be a pretty big hole to dig out from

NewsLive What about all the labs giving false reports? America does not have a covid problem. We have a problem with inflated numbers. If we have such a major issue, why are the hospitals not full?

NewsLive Really? Are they not taking into consideration all the people that are getting registered to take the test, but leave because it is taking to long to get to them( yet those people that were never tested at all get a letter telling them they are Pos for covid?

NewsLive I know where: Trump

NewsLive Yep. democrats ignore the findings that children have fewer ACE2 receptors in their nose, sinuses, mouth, throat and lungs, which is why they are less contagious. They ignored the positive hydroxychloroquine studies. Everything is politics for them.

NewsLive it would be benifical to all Americans if science and government was on one accord.

NewsLive

NewsLive The problem started in 2016.

NewsLive Former😀😀Spin.

NewsLive ....in other words Trump is an inept leader and people have died and will continue to die. All in pursuit of the almighty dollar....”must reopen business and schools”. Vote Blue

NewsLive True. But also because some people are acting recklessly and irresponsibly. They are being self-centered and selfish.

NewsLive .Fake News BS.....

NewsLive Great news You’ve got more of a chance of winning lotto losing your job bullied bashed fined and locked up and ostracised, then dying of a virus, wear a mask if you’re ugly diseased and obedient,

NewsLive HydroxycholoroquineWorks and they don’t want to use it, that’s why they are struggling.

NewsLive Yeah because they have so much experience to share from their time dealing with a once in a century type event. All of these back seat drivers don’t have to make decisions, they can just criticize from the back seat.

NewsLive What leadership.?..?

NewsLive The U.S. is still struggling to deal with the pandemic because of one thing: mixed messages from TRUMP!!!.

NewsLive Why test we are spending way to much money. Test negative and walk in a store and get it COV .....

NewsLive We have no leadership. It is a rambling mess.

NewsLive

NewsLive There is clearly a second thing: a failed education system.

NewsLive People don’t listen and if some leader tells them what they want to hear instead of truth about fatal pandemic - Of course they gonna lap it up

NewsLive There is no leadership.

NewsLive Mixed messages from NEWS MEDIA each one has something different ,a different dr ,someones opinion

NewsLive Here's a message masks do not work!!!

NewsLive Only mixed messages are from Fauci . Mask , no mask , mask , no mask , 1.7 million will die , 100,000 will die , 1.2 million will die , 200,000 will die , don’t gather in groups you’ll spread the virus , it’s ok to gather in groups if your protesting you won’t spread the virus

NewsLive Interesting.

NewsLive Also, doctors initially saying masks don’t help along with untrustworthy data are huge reasons...

NewsLive 1 saying Hydroxylochoroquine mixed with an antibiotic and Zinc doesn't help patients.

NewsLive so phony it ridiculous

NewsLive These CDC directors need to spell it out in words of one syllable and not pussyfoot around with niceties like 'mixed messages from leadership.' We should only be hearing from experts like Dr Fauci. Call out the guilty party who has sown lies and fairy tales to confuse the people.

NewsLive It is incredible, how much the agencies are fucking whitewashing a majestic clusterfuck handling of the Pandemic I the U.S. of Dumbfuckistan.

NewsLive To be a republican under Trump is to lose all semblance of self respect and respect for the US. WIN OR LOSE IN November, you are an embarrassment to the world. I’m so sorry for you.

NewsLive Why are they “former” director’s?

NewsLive Leadership is as confused as we are. CCP knows the most about the virus.

NewsLive The plandemic is over.

NewsLive Yeah our president. He needs to worry about this issue and not tik tok

NewsLive fakenews

NewsLive China has succeeded because it was able to impose harsh restrictive measures that would be impossible to carry out in Western democracies

NewsLive Of course they did! How much Did JoeBiden’s handlers pay them?

NewsLive The mixed messages are coming from the two parties. DemocratsTheEnemyWithin don't care about people only their politics & their hatred of POTUS . Look at Chicago, Portland, NY & Chicago what are they doing for those people? Nothing, just letting them suffer WalkAway

NewsLive ABC BS

NewsLive TrumpCoronavirusFailure

NewsLive Responsibility is the state it's time for them to get their crap together

NewsLive Fat boy Kim Jong-Un is even better in ordering lockdown in his backwards country than realtor Trump. 🤣

NewsLive

NewsLive You always have the' former' experts 'opinions'. ABC is a joke.

NewsLive Liberal propaganda. Reported.

NewsLive No kidding

moeosman7 Sir, Please control pvt hospitals bills too heavy per day charges 25k to 50k. hospitals not accept Arrogyasri & Health Insurance all,I was paid 115000 for 4 days in vizag nd my bro 13 days he paid 7.21000 at vijayawada pvt hospital just for normal treatment bill.. Plz help us.

Hindsight is 20/20. Political 💩. Time to vote out these long standing politicians in DC. I don’t give a damn about your party affiliations

Thus the word 'former'.... Next?

How about what needs to be done better you can’t bring people back to life!! Think what the future holds!!

The last thing the media/democrats want is for the virus to go away. They are not telling you the truth. Enemy of the people!!

We already know what went wrong. FIND SOLUTIONS. PRONTO. FIND A CURE. FIND A VACCINE.

They are political advocates not truthful concerned citizens. America is doing very well compared to other countries.

Trump. That's the problem and ALWAYS has been.

They don't quite say it, but Trump's incompetence and subsequent politicization is responsible for this unmitigated disaster. It seems that we are going to have to live with the coronavirus until a vaccine is found

It was left to realDonaldTrump to handle. The results speak for themselves, absolute FAILURE!

Basically in the beginning they said not do things they are saying you have to now. And God forbid you use HCQ. And now we've got state and city checkpoints. And now protests, rioting, and looting are okay. Church, funerals, sports, and concert venues still a big nope.

When you see conflicting messages coming from doctors and scientists you might understand why people are confused.

Wonknwonk

CDC directors kowtowed to presidents and Congress cutting funding for basic research without a whimper. Those same directors saved funding for vaccines not masks that stop water vapor because that's what they cared and knew about. They are Judases. RandPaul

You also lose trust when medical experts become political pundits and share their politics instead of science.

You lose trust when the science has rarely been right and the numbers are so skewed that we'll never know what effect the pandemic actually had on the US. Money and not actual scientific data is the driving force.

CDC: don’t wear masks - wear masks ; Lancet: HCQ no good - ohh sorry wrong data ... Flip flop scientists options at odd with each other or even with themselves, and they blame Trump not to keep up?

no, you lose trust when someone outright is actually *trying to hurt you instead of help you

People tend to forget how Republicans screw up the country and then they get elected and remind everyone why they shouldn't be in power. They can't handle it.

::cough:: Trump ::cough::
