A Health and Human Services whistleblower claims US workers did not have proper training or protective gear when they received coronavirus evacuees from China

"We are hopeful that Congress and the OSC will investigate this case in a timely and comprehensive manner," Ari Wilkenfeld, a lawyer for the whistleblower, told CNN."This matter concerns HHS's response to the coronavirus, and its failure to protect its employees and potentially the public. The retaliatory efforts to intimidate and silence our client must be opposed.

Read MoreWilliam Walters, executive director and managing director for Operational Medicine in the Bureau of Medical Services at the State Department, pushed back on the allegations when he was asked about the report during a coronavirus hearing Thursday afternoon before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

ayeshakhans7 They needed to get trained by Chinese..but the training itself may lead to backdoors implantation🤣

Please find out why these HHS workers were ordered to visit evacuees in CA, some who were infected with COVID-19, to greet these people without training or protective gear. Who decided this? Then they went into the COMMUNITY & on airplanes. Were HHS staff tested afterwards?

I'm sure this is factual... Protect Whistleblowers

Shut your pie hole and go out of business

To all the trump haters out there I say go *uck yourself.

I am claiming that CNN is a Domestic terrorist organization.. Oh wait we already know that

FIRE DON LEMON AND HIS BOY FRIEND ANDERSON!!

So your telling me 🤷‍♂️ the only thing to stop trump, and his republican rampage, was an act of God, Good Job. Go. Bernie🕊

This sadistic BS didn’t play out when it was tried in the Presidents impeachment, and it won’t play out now. How sad to watch the democrats try to do grown-up work when all they are able to do is the work of children. The whole effort requires intellect, and they don’t have it.

CNN another whistle blower? No, we need names. Not playing who done it?

don't be fooled this is a propaganda

Everything about this news channel is fake

And the ridiculous bad mouthing starts!

The whistle blower!!!! Why don’t that person put their name to it since they want to open their mouth on things.

Wait realDonaldTrump said he had the virus under control SenateGOP are you still believing you made the right decision at the impeachment Trump and coronavirus will be the end of the GOP SenRonJohnson RepGallagher

More fearmongering from the enemedia propagandists who are desperately trying to destroy America.

Oh fak!

Ten bucks says her Twitter account is full of orangemanbad posts.

Not a surprise under our incompetent POTUS

That is horrible news... one of the lessons China has taught about this whole corona virus is: “I’m giving you time to prepare yourselves.”. Sad. Very sad. Hoping for the best.

Neither did the coach drivers collecting evacuees in the UK. Nobody has ever answered this mystery.

DeepStateCorruption

Wow....what a surprise....NOT!

Does CNN keep a stable of whistleblowers they can launch when some controversy comes up? What is the purpose of CNN? Just peddling a narrative rather than reporting the news?

This demonstrates the important role that whistleblowers play. They help to protect all of us! .protectwhisleblowers

Maybe some of the Senators will stand up to tRump on this matter. He cancelled most safeguards Obama had in place, for this case, to build a wall that won’t help anything. If someone they love is exposed because they let him run wild, will they wake up?

Trump already have the vaccine 😜

Apparently, they didn't run their statement through the VP 's propaganda office. So now IQ45's administration will call it fake news, and another Democrat witch hunt. They will try to destroy the whistleblower.

Good thing the stable genius is on the case .

'Like a miracle it will go away.' -Very Sincerely Donald J.Trump coronavirus TrumpVirus

Isn’t this agency just a cover for the N.E.S.T. Team and the Autobots?

Healthcare workers don't know how to don PPEs or use universal precautions

As he often tells lies, he is not to be relied on.

Let’s send them to the White House to meet with Traitor Trump.

Hello, Adam Schiff here..................

How STUPID, didn’t they see the news? They had more than 14 Days to see it.

Probably not when people like yourselves were treating like the flu

That was the chink in their armour. A bit like this :

My God, you people. I've never seem so much fear porn in 2 days from one network. It's almost as if you have an agenda to tank the economy to hurt realDonaldTrump or something 🙄 CNNsucks YouAreFakeNews

Trump & team have actually been on this since Jan & talked about it back then. You must not have recieved the memo or prefer propaganda & to spew lies.

A WB ? Really ...sure ! Wheres proof,the photo's something more than a made up story !!!

FAKE NEWS.

Im not surprised. This administration has no clue what they're doing.

Fake news with no credible source whatsoever. Just more slanderous pot shots at our President. Well guess what CNN? We Americans are on to this game and we are sick of it.

Good job CNN keep it up! You and whistleblowers are a great team! Promoting fear and chaos. Nice!

And, this Mr Trump, is how coronovirus spreads. You have stripped money and knowledgeable people from CDC and other agencies. Do not get too cocky about coronovirus.

Oh and let me guess y’all gona blame Trump

California. Pelosi

This news fits your agenda perfectly fakeCNN 🤔

Of course. Because this is the newest democrat scandal to take down Trump

HHS is a joke. Like the Benny Hill show...

Fake news. MSM causing false panic again.

PolitiShox Coronavirus is good for the economy. Can you guess why?😎

I'm not gonna lambast the govt that I knew was alread too inept to handle any global event that really mattered. I'm gonna tell everyone here that we may not be the faces you see on TV but we're here to be a valid source of information from the frontline

Trumps thorough preparation?

This is directly linked to tourist coming from SF.

The Coronavirus was imported to Solano County, Travis Air Force Base received patients from the cruise ship. Why is this being discounted or ignored? We also now know the training , equipment and protocol has been insufficient!

Shut up, fear mongering children.

I call bullsh1t on the whistleblower

Oh for fucks sake

That is what happens when needed funding is diverted for things that less pressing .

Impeach Trump

No doubt a Democrat who wants to blame Trump. You have WB basically saying H&HS employees dont have knowledge. H&HS Head says he & team were protected & have done this for yrs, & another person shows pics everyone in hazmat suits. So believe evidence or Dem WB w/no evidence?

Good lord. Can’t these idiots get anything right?

Each and every one of these workers should get a visit with President Trump and a good long hug from him and each of his family members for all their hard work!

This is the ONLY way we will be kept informed. Thank you whistleblowers of America!

This is getting so old and predictable. Looking forward to TrumpLandslide2020

It appears the Chinese don't have the right gear either... It's a way to cull the herd. You only have to look at the map to see their strategist plan of take over.

Some of the evacuees were taken to Travis Air Force Base, in Solano County in Northern California. Now there is a mystery Coronavirus case in that same County - where the patient had no known contact w/ anyone that went to China.

Sounds like someone didn’t pay attention during hazmat/Safety training and we’re unprepared to do their job safely After all safety training is only as good as the reciever of said information is willing to hear

You are VeryFakeNews

Where is Congressional oversight?!!!Oh, yeah, choked and strangled by the “WH” infantiles and Senate GOP traitors who have betrayed, destroyed American democratic government and the national security of the American people all for egomaniacical narcissism.

EnoughIsEnough

Liberals. They don’t complain when it’s unaccompanied minors.

Can we talk about seasonal flu? That one kills many more. Every season. StopCoronaPanic It’s not working CNN We know what you want. You are creating panic so that market crashes. It ain’t working Here is as of today. We are good

I don’t doubt that one bit. Many hospitals have not trained their employees on use of PPE beyond mask, gloves and gown.

Did they catch the virus ?if not maybe they are immune, and we can use them to help find a cure. Hope they are being monitored.

Its a freaking cold...come on people....

Trump is probably furious

Did this come from Schiff? He's been known to leak a lot

Whistleblower...here we go again. So then get them protective gear and training.

I am so damn angry right now. I just feel like screaming. This is DELIBERATE MALFISEANCE on the part of our President and HHS.

You people do know the flu has been deadlier... but lets keep listening to fakenews

Lol they want the virus here so badly.

proper training... If your medical workers... you should of already had it.. or are we talking about a different dept..

It makes me think these Chinese people got this through food sources. Which makes me think the rural guy in California with no connections to travel or people may have contracted through food. What do you think? What is the source?

Of course, that’s what happens when you don’t have a proper president.

i call bs on this story but then again this is cnn, usually its always bs 🙌

Ummm.. that’s bullshit. Healthcare workers have many isolation patients. Just need to know class of precaution.. air borne, contact, etc. we have lots of patients with many diseases. Pedal ur fear porn somewhere else

This is where all the Liberals - on cue - say “it’s Trump’s fault”. If they don’t, the media will fill in the blanks.

Another “whistleblower”

Thanks for the fear porn EnemyOfThePeople

TrumpVirus wash your hands!!!

😂😂😂😂 Another deep state whistleblower! Seems like they pop up to help you idiots and the rest of the Dems! HHS is already looking into the complaint. Do you ever think that being an unbiased media might bring in greater numbers of viewers! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yawn

Smh... unprepared. Sad

No worries… Ivanka is on the case she will have a vaccine in a few minutes

Trump will destroy the country

No worries.

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE

So the first reported case of community spread Coronavirus was directly caused by the incompetence of the Trump Administration.

that's not a surprise

Not surprised at this point. Smh
