Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned Wednesday that Americans should be prepared for a second wave of novel coronavirus infections in the winter, even as the epidemic appears to have hit its peak in parts of the country. Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention appears on "Good Morning America," April 15, 2020.It's important the country takes the time now to improve its testing capacity and expand public health capacity so that health workers can detect cases early, conduct contact tracing and isolate potentially infected individuals, according to Redfield.

"It's really a testament to the sacrifice the American public has taken and the leadership that we've had in a number of these states to give that example," he added. When asked about President Donald Trump's decision to halt U.S. funding to the World Health Organization and whether he thinks the agency failed in its outbreak response, Redfield was reluctant to criticize the WHO and instead said,"I think I'd like to do the postmortem on this outbreak once we get through it together."

Those who are saying 'they are not social distancing' do realize that there are 4-5 firefighters per Ladder or Truck which have very limited space for them to fit into. So clapping outside 'distanced' wont matter. What they should be wearing, at least, is facemasks.

this is the kind of support we need during this dark time

Yes. I understand the gravity of this infection but what happens if you disobey the executive order to cover your face? Arrest? COVID19 Melekweanthony

30000 now

Just remember this pic when you want your kids to be back in school and you want to go back to work. Your kids will be next to their kids and you will be working along side these folks. Every state has large populations still thinking this is fake/hoax. I blame one person. 🇺🇸

Really Sorry

Trump virus

There is a red flag waving across the United States for long term care facilities. Is it the strength of the virus or the weaknesses in this sector that is the bigger assailant against our elderly & disabled?

WOW!!!! What a fighter!!!

Amazing 😊

Geez. 🤦‍♀️

Non-essential? That explains why Congress isn't meeting.

I think most states will adopt this as well.

Considering the WHO has been wrong almost every step of the way and covering for China during this pandemic, they can rot in bankruptcy

I wonder who got to tell his majesty the news.

But no worries Dems. You still get to stand in line to get your weed and you still get to kill your families at PP if you want. Have fun cashing that check from your President.

Hey you know what else would undermine the fight against the coronavirus, FUCKING LYING ABOUT

What global fight? It was a please do not tell the world the truth and hide the truth as long as possible campaign.

Then why don’t u-Chi Na do the funding to WHO, u want to be no1 n be a big brother to the world! ChinaLiedPeopleDied CCPChina CCPCoverUp

The fight that they started out of negligence!!! Repercussions should be made against China for this.

It’s time for other countries to step up.

China will step up as a world leader and fill the gap

No more money!

Am I misinformed that this mess came from China?

it's unacceptable u ignore the US corona virus from genetical scope is father of China corona virus. and then blame China and WHO?WHO timeline is clear. Your act like that only cos the sinophobia deep inside of you. US impeded Italy investigating bodies died last year!

ChinaLiedPeopleDied WHOLiedPeopleDied

Can't China give them more funding if there so concerned ?

So they can add to their share and move on.

America is spending Trillions of dollars to protect our citizens. China can fund the WHO . A Billion Dollars. Why isn't this happening. China is responsible. Why aren't they paying?

That is Trump's goal. Once he heard the virus was killing minorities, then he wants it to kill them all. Trump is an evil man. Trump refuses to fun the World Health Organization as long as one minority lives in America. He will defund it and work to keep the wealthy alive.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Because they’ve done such a wonderful job so far right? 🙄 The WHO F’d everyone, on behalf of China.

fck who, so corrupt and in chinas pocket...

此人贼眉鼠眼,一副奸相,满嘴谎言,满肚坏水

China wanted to control the WHO how much it as willing to let the west know about covid19.Perhaps China can spend its money were its mouth is.

Coming from the country that created this issue to begin with and only donates 40 million. Time to pony up.

China is asshole

I don’t give a bats ass what China has to say anymore

Why can’t they pay them more?

Let China pay for their own health organization

Hey China, why don’t you pick up the tab? That’s the least you can do tbh.

There’s nothing political about saying Fuck you, China.

when we've ceded world leadership to China, you know things are going bad in the USA

The United States withdrew from the WHO and made WHO a CHO. The Chinese government should be happy, why not?

You spelled 'fight against the west' wrong.

LOL

Our government was warned in 2005 of impending Pandemic and the fool in the White House that cant read didnt even read the play book on handling Pandemics. So Trump starts the blame game. GOP like 1929 all about profits.

What undermine’s the fight was CHINA covering it up and lying, killing doctors, not allowing for international assistance and inspectors, just flat out lies and ABC is here to speak for you. Disgusting

TheView Still haven’t heard of any of them rich bitches on the view donating a penny to the hungry people of America

TheView Lady, research how many billions of dollars the U.S. OWES China. If they collected on the U.S. outstanding debt, they would have more than enough to carry their own weight.

Chinese Virus

More reason to stop funding to the WHO.

ChinaLiedPeopleDied

Then you fund it by yourself, Billy boy.

Of course the mass murderer who will make a trillion dollars from forced vaccines doesn't approve of the US suspending funding for his proxy international organization.

Trump is stupid, irresponsible and arrogant. A triple threat

Maybe WHO should've declared a pandemic sooner and tens of thousands would still be alive

WHO is the reason we’re in this mess. So no, they don’t get the benefits of our money when US taxpayers need it more.

Why don’t you pay for it gates

China gives $40 million They want to be a super power.. Let them kick in another $460 million first, then we might come back to the table..

To hell with china, and to hell with WHO. They are both guilty of telling enumerable lies that has led to global chaos. china is a pariah to the world, and the WHO their enablers.

perhaps the world does, but the USA does not

trump is a incompetent fascist, and the who is a corrupt organization unfit for purpose which sold out to china's ccp for access to garbage data, both these things are equally true in equal measure

China, feel free free to fund your own liars!!!

If the Chicoms are so concerned, they are welcome to make up the difference with their own cash.

TheView But China should take the brunt !

TheView Agreed

So now China looks like a hero and the US looks like a loser...well played Trump!

NEW: ABC prints CCP press release.

China is correct.

Screw China ......

Perhaps China should up the ante financially on their side, especially since their the WHO’s puppet master. JustSaying

abcnews should be abc China news since its apparent that you are owned by China, your reporters like CeciliaVega are China defenders, owned... sit Rover sit

Let them pay the bills for a while, the USA is busy killing their virus.

Why allow the Chinese Communist Party have ‘news channels’ in America? bantheCCP

It’s funny to see that China thinks they deserve an opinion on this

You’ve got to be kidding me. WHO’s ineptitude has allowed potentially controlled epidemic to become the worldwide pandemic we have now and they are totally in China’s pocket. WHO/China not our friend. No money until leadership change!

I WuhanVirusMadeInChina ChinaLiedPeopleDied WHOLiedPeopleDied

The virus is here. The WHO was supposed to help fight it when it showed up and didn't. It didn't even give out the correct information about it when wasn't contained. We should just send money to our CDCgov and forget about WHO.

Maybe China should pay our portion. The Chinese Government seem to matter more than everyone’s health.

China pays a fraction to WHO compared to the US. China lied about the virus and WHO helped them do it. Screw China.

All they have to do is make up the billion or so that they have shorted the WHO

And why are you putting out China stories? During a pandemic they started?

Ha

TheView TheView How can we believe anything China says? We should remember China made reporters leave their country and then shortly after begin to report that in regards to COVID things were getting better. really CommonSense Wearesmarterthanthat

祝你们美国反华狗早日死光光!

I agree Trump shouldn’t have stopped funding right now. That does not mean they shouldn’t be investigated, because from everything I’ve read, WHO messed up a lot. But my suggestion for China .... is maybe you should contribute more since the real bad guy here is China.

Ooohhhh, Lilly-Jan doesn't like the USA decision. zlj517 is a propagandist, and the face of CCP.

The fix is easy, China must release some fund to keep WHO in business like US helps right now big and small businesses to stop them from going bankrupt.

I think China needs to explain why they shut travel down in their country jan 23rd..yet let international travel continue......before they give us their 2cents

China purposefully spread the virus around the world. They were outspoken against other countries stopping international travel from Wuhan in the midst of the outbreak. They literally have blood on their little hands. WuhanCoronavius WuhanVirus ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied

What the WHO said about coronavirus as the pandemic unfolded via MailOnline

The key is...when did China the the WHO in?

Too Bad China & WHO have Undermined themselves when They Decided to Cover this Up. Causing a Worldwide Pandemic & Crash of Economy. But let's just Keep things the Way they Are.🇺🇸🇺🇸 KAG2020 realDonaldTrump seanhannity

Tell China to FUQUE THEMSELVES.

Well now that China has spoken, he’ll probably take it back🤬😐💩

We suffer you pay

Then let China pay , they pay way less the we do and the WHO LIED FOR THEM Saying it was NOT TRANSMITTED HUMAN TO HUMAN. CHINA LIED WHO LIED PEOPLE DIED EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD BE OUTRAGED

And for that very reason I fully support the US halting funding to WHO. With all the evidences have, WHY would anyone trust China? Particularly in regards to a pandemic that the one party government there is responsible for.

Enjoy the quietness of my country life, only birds chirping

I can’t wait to travel. Can’t wait!😢

Sad situation. 😢

China is cheap asshole

What a Fkn Joke. China should expect bills from all countries damaged by this bug.

How about China allow a real investigation into the ground in Wuhan.

Then they can foot the bill!

You mean they would have to pay them to spread more lies !!! F China

EdMorrissey Yeah...Thanks China. We'll get right on that listening to you and all your truth-telling and sanitary markets and bio-weapons labs and stuff.

GOD'S BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏🙏🙏

UK PM BorisJohnson leaves hospital after that he said HydroxyChloroquine saved...coronavirus COVID2019

GOOD

Sad when i cannot support the US Government policy over the Chinese Government policy on an issue

China and the WHO are responsible for this. The media needs to stop printing sympathetic stories for mass murderers

TheView Came here to read all the racist trump supporters comments. And act like I'm still in disbelief that ppl act this way😏

ChinaLiedPeopleDied ChinaMustPay

Fuck China

China is our enemy: I don't care what they want. They can make up the funding for their buddies.

Hi 'ABC!' No Doubt 'China!' Will Picke Up The ShortFall! They Know There Will Be Future Pandemic's & New Healthe Problem's Due To 'ClimateChange!' 'AmigoDon!'

Let China and news foot the bill. I’m sure has extra yen laying around for their pals in the CCP

Let China pay then.
