WASHINGTON — Rarely has the schism between President Donald Trump and his own public health advisers over the coronavirus pandemic been put on display quite so starkly. Even as he announced a new federal recommendation on Friday that Americans wear masks when out in public, he immediately disavowed it: “I am choosing not to do it.”
As hospitals cope with shortages of medical equipment, the administration on Friday also rewrote the federal government’s stated mission for its stockpile of supplies to make clear that it sees itself as playing a secondary role to the states. Where the federal government once said the stockpile “ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need the most,” the revised version said the federal stockpile’s role was merely to “supplement state and local supplies.
The most fundamental point of conflict centers over how broadly the virtual lockdown of many states in the Midwest and on the East and West Coasts should be expanded. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said stay-at-home orders should be extended to the entire nation.
“Yes, there are states that are dead flat,” she agreed. “But you know, what changes the curve is a new Detroit, a new Chicago, a new New Orleans, a new Colorado. Those change the curves because it all of a sudden spikes with the number of new cases.” In other words, without taking action, “dead flat” states can suddenly become hot spots.
But Fauci has repeatedly sounded a note of skepticism, much to the president’s frustration. “I think we’ve got to be careful that we don’t make that majestic leap to assume that this is a knockout drug,” Fauci said in an interview on “Fox & Friends” on Friday. Previously, the website said: “Strategic National Stockpile is the nation’s largest supply of lifesaving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in a public health emergency severe enough to cause local supplies to run out.”
The explosive growth of the virus in many cities over the last two weeks has made clear that the United States has not been following the trajectory of places like Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong that have kept outbreaks relatively contained so far. And the country has not begun to see the number of new cases level off yet, as Italy has.
These two experts both have former ties to Mr. Bill Gates who stands to gain from hyping this pandemic. Trust, but verify. We still have no vaccine for Swine Flu yet we’re rushing to get one for this?
Here for the ratio
“According to 1 anonymous source”.
More unfounded negativity pointed at POTUS
Fake news.
Trump doesn't accept the status quo and 'testing' their positions is important rather than just saying ok and keeping the country closed. Time to get back to work.
If the doctors had their way 100% of the time we'd never be allowed to leave our homes for fear of sunburns. There needs to be a balance between health and other critical factors like the economy. Can't stay shut down forever.
We can all see what’s going on. Christopher Steele was the key source for your Yahoo news story. Obviously you are amateurs.
As it should because they are full of crap. Listen to va_shiva spell it out.
Economics and health of American people... I think he needs to give Americans a date to open businesses.
more desperate DNC media shill sh*t stirring attempts ..... so boring at this point, guys
Just because he doesn’t wear a mask doesnt mean there is tension. Birks isn’t wearing one either. Does she have “tension” with herself
Well late February 28th , Fauci said on the Today show no need to change lifestyle .. March 9 he was saying it still ok to go on cruises.. his advice deserves skepticism ..
Trump has been bold and right. Dr. Fauci? Nope.
She looks sad and guilty for following bogus models.
Yahoo trying to start some s*hit. Back off and let the experts work without trying to divide them. FAKE NEWS YAHOO!ShutTheHellUp
As they should’ve
Well, last I heard Donald Trump is President, and he also has to be concerned for the 350 million plus Americans who will survive tbe coronavirus just fine and must continue to live!
Do not trust Birx or Fauci, I feel they are players in entrapping Trump into a Dem narrative that consumes lives & media so Dems can prolong this until election day to push for mail in ballots to steal election. realDonaldTrump VP Birx and Fauci mad they cannot control Trump.
Yahoo with their daily we hate trump story, what a shock
Good! He needs to overrule them and get an end game in place! Since when have Americans acted like scared babies like this?!
Why are you trying to make people believe that President Trump and his medical advisers are not trying to work together to combat COVID-19? Is your purpose political?
You mean like doctor FAUCI who on January 21st told the nation in an interview that Americans have nothing to worry about when it comes to the Chinese Virus...?
realDonaldTrump needs to dump these morons & put America back to work. The virus is no worse & no better than any other virus out there. Keep the elderly & compromised at home & get the young & healthy back to work!!
If I were a expert spokesman for small business I would have advised the President not to close anything. The President must take the information from several very narrow minded experts and do what is best for the country as a whole. Why is it so hard to understand?
They’re on a short leash...they know it.
Yahoo news..., really? Don’t make me laugh
FakeNews
She has been getting flustered, especially after the models are not panning out
Fire all of the Quacks, we the people must get back to work NOW !!!
Yahoo will be the vulture picking the flesh from our bones
He needs new ones.
Fauci encouraged travel after the The President discouraged it. The President said certain drugs might work fauci wants year long testing. I want better scientists than fauci!!!
Of course there is tension, stop being stupid. Medical 'experts' work on medical issues, the President doesn't have that luxury he has to worry about a hell of a lot more than ONLY medical issues. Thank You President Trump
They started way behind the power curve because Fauci bought into the WHO lies and botched the test development.
Medical advisors have one concerns. The president of the country has many. Tensions are good.
If it wasn’t, that should make us worry! 🤷🏽♂️🇺🇸
Good. Leaders have many advisers. Can't agree with them all.
Fake news
I don't remember voting for Fauci or Birx
Yes he’s not the media’s meat puppet like Michael’s wife.
Good!
The Left press keeps pushing this narrative. Trump chastised Acosta when he asked where Fauci was, telling him “you always ask that”. The Dr. is THEIR guy and they hate that he’s siding with Trump. POTUS knows.
Perhaps it's over the company they keep....
Stop lying and fearmongering
Because they are frauds
I don't see the tension. They're working together as a team. People need to compromise. Not tension.
The needs of the many, out weigh the needs of the few.
They need to be replaced.......
Bullshit
Fauci and Birx has said there is no tension with the president only with the media who has been lying non stop. You are fake news that is the enemy of the people and country, You are the trouble makers that no one listens to
THANK GOD! Hopefully, Trump will fire them and start getting rid of barriers to the anti-malarial drug combo. Then start re-opening the country.
AOL, yes I'm old school, news feeds are always anti Trump.
I will say it is normal when there is tensions because that means they are on the alert and feel themselves the pressure not only to find the answers,but having to deal with the rude and unreasonable press that insists on repeating the same questions even after being answered
Fake news
Emphasis on “advisors”. They advise. POTUS makes decisions. He can take, leave or consider their advice.
Yahoo stirring the pot WITH ZERO FACTS. On the side note, the medical advisors are so cold about people be screwed and ability to provide for their families. POTUS has to think about those things. They do not.
Fauci practically pushed Trump out of they way to interject his thought that hydrox chloroquine wasnt working that well despite the proof it is. Thats all u need 2 C 2 know his goal has always been 2 destroy the economy and country
Good. They care about money and themselves. Trumps cares about people! He works free! Fauci is a a jerk!
Thank God. The docs would have everyone stay home until nobody is sick regardless of the economic outcome. We agreed because we were to flatten the curve. Now they want it eradicated before giving us or lives and freedom back. Give me liberty or give me death.
The models they used are showing to be significantly inflated. We are not seeing the hospitalizations they swore we would see. Hospitals are laying off, cutting pay, cutting hours.
Trust the experts......
I am sick of hearing about modeling, etc. The time is up. We need to accept the situation, protect ourselves and go back to work ASAP. OBAMA DIDNT GIVE A CRAP — HE LET 60 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE US GET SWINE FLU AND WAITED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE DOING A THING.
Good! So it's only a matter of time before he, and he alone recommends we re-open everything. Fauci needs to go. NOW!
The advisors have been wrong every step so far...
Time for a new QB
Igualzinho no Brasil. A máfia da medicina.
There’s tension in every boardroom that’s functioning properly.
Seriously? A dumb little thing like a global pandemic crisis shouldn't cause any tensions or anxieties or anything like that among the people trying to solve the many life and death problems it poses. 'Orange Man Bad!' lol/smh
Poor Joe
Good news..WE THE PPL WANT AMERICA BACK!!!!
Excellent news so pushing panic killing everything we’ve all worked all our lives for is part of the conversation. Feel better now.
They should as we get no news about why like other countries we are not using chloroquine on a larger scale. We here more about how many are dying not even how many recovering!
Fauci and Birx are fear mongering leftists who are giddy with excitement over their doomsday predictions which aren’t even close to being right.
Another story that shocks me... not!
Stop writing nonsense headlines like that!
Debate is a good thing. That’s how science has always been tested. A leader who questions his advisors (instead of blindly trusting everyone) is a good leader. Trump is in charge. Get over yourselves
I don't get why otherwise like-minded people trust Trump. All this sh*t is happening under his presidency.
Name your sources or STFU
What you are describing in the webpage is not tension. If that's tention, you have tention with your boss every two/three days.
We know. We feel sorry for them. Trying to explain this to trump is like explaining it to a 2 year old. This country is in trouble unless we can impeach all of trumps cronies and trump (again)!
Experts? These fu'ing Doctors were supposed to be able to identify n protect the citizens when this virus appeared long ago. Supposed experts in the field! More like Monday morning QBs now. Question them!
Hallaluya.
Yahoo liberals looking to make it appear that Trump is losing support. Totally untrue. More media lies.
Both POTUS and his medical advisers can only recommend. It's each state's Governors that lay down the law.
Tensions? Says who? Also, they’re advisers, not the decision maker. They all seem to be getting along well
Is it true they do not have medical license?
As it should be. Great pic, too, Yahoo!
Are these the same advisers, like times sexiest man of year dr Faucci, who stated at end of January that the virus was nothing the American people needed to worry about? If so things should definitely be tense. They were wrong then. I’d be questioning everything they said now.
That’s the way it’s supposed to be. He has to take in the advise from many sectors and make the best decisions for the over all future of the country. There isn’t a clean outcome. Trump and his team have done an amazing job. Thank God we had them through this.
I've watched every update Trump has given us. There's been no tension between Trump and his advisers. This article is BS-typical of Yahoo to maintain 'Orange Man Bad.' They, like the rest of MSM (& fringe media) are all trying their damnedest to keep you & me glued to the news.
So? The medical team are advisers not elected officials with the authority to make decisions.... POTUS takes their counsel, but has to make the calls. WhiteHouse PressSec
Their role is to give advice and Trumps role is to make a decision for the country based on their advice.
Fake Liberal Yahoo News 🤮
MaeWunder Maggie haberman article. Don’t bother.
is just another Fake News outlet. Don’t believe their interpretation watch and listen to what you hear with your own ears.
The media’s approval rating keeps going down.. this virus has shown how non essential and worthless they are for our survival! Their print needs to be fact checked by the reader constantly so what’s the point?
It's a tense situation for all Americans and the world. Thank God we have a President capable of taking on this challenge.
3) KEEP ON PRAYING FOR THE COUNTRY THE ADMINISTRATION AND POTUS....THOSE THAT DON'T PRAY.....CROSS YOUR FINGERS, HAVE A SHOT OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU DO.....DO IT FOR YOUR COUNTRY BECAUSE WE ARE ALL AMERICANS UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL
2) THE PEOPLE. ALL OF THE TIME WE VOTED HIM IN BECAUSE HE PROMISED CHANGE AND HE IS NOT A POLITICIAN HE IS A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN ANDHAS KEPT HIS PROMISES AND SAVED THIS COUNTRY ...NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN IN THIS EXACT POSITION WHAT THOSE OF US THAT PRAY NEED TO DO IS KEEP ON IN
They should - the medical experts were wrong from early on, but I don't blame them. I blame China and WHO for lying to the World.
Yes tense is what it should be the medical field, the economists, the Industries, the workers, the ADMINISTRATION, the President... They all have their jobs to do and After consulting with everyone it's POTUS'S CALL HIS IS NOT AN EASY LIFE....YOU CERTAINLY CANNOT PLEASE ALL OF
Tense talks during meetings about the virus and the economy.. yes, it seems to me that that would be a time for tense talks.
Good. Open the country back up!
hopefully but do you actually know that for sure this time? FakeNewsMedia
Anyone who puts all their eggs in one basket based on modeling is an idiot...these models are always off and continue to change every week
Great news. realDonaldTrump is starting to sniff this out
Good! Fuck Birx and Fauci, deep state scum
As it should be. An adviser's role is to advise on their own narrow area of expertise. It's precisely the executive's role to balance all adviser's advice and make a decision, taking all angles into account. The adviser isn't a decision maker.
Yahoo is a leftist mouthpiece for the DemocRATs!
Their modeling has been a disaster.
And where do you get these assumptions from? You all have been saying this from day 1! Losers
Good!
Hell yeah!
Nice article, bet y’all aren’t liberals 🙄
liberal democrat plants
Open America! Model was wrong! OpenAmericaAgain
There should be. He runs the Economy - they are only doctors. And have gotten it wrong to date.
Good. They’re wrong.
I’m behind in the FakeNews happenings but when did start using NYSlimes stories and call them their own It’s a cottage industry being phony now I guess. peterbakernyt and maggieNYT are complete 💩...
Liars
Dr. Fauci January 21, 2020 “This (Coronavirus) is something the United States should be worried about”
Tension is normal and desirable. Great leaders/advisors know this and have little use for 'yes men' in a crisis. Study Patton Some 'leaders' foolishly 'lead from behind', avoid tension and depend on lackeys to shoulder blame for abject failure. Study obama/clinton/Benghazi.🇺🇸
Birx won’t share her chart data and methodology, and Fauci is clueless about business and economics. It was encouraging seeing realDonaldTrump take back the reins at today’s briefing.
Glad to hear it.
Fake news.
That’s because the moron doesn’t have much brains. He knows nothing about medicine or health or literally anything else.
As there should be
As they should February 29
Good. They have personal motives.
CDC models are worthless. Today Brix said don't go to grocery store or pharmacies. We have Authoritarian Leftist state and local govts threatening people with jail and fines ... NONE OF THIS SHIT HAPPENES W/H1N1.
Good.
Appalling! If you watch the briefings, you can tell Birks and Fauci are working with the President. Fauci said numerous times a national ban is a constitutional issue. Both scientists have defended Trump numerous times. Trying to cast fear & doubt on a team working for us?
There's always tension at the top of any organization, can't take the heat, get out.
FakeNews
The media has all but assured Trumps re-election...absolutely absurd.
You thinking they should agree on everything?
Yahoo news is a joke. Prove your sources...this is a left wing clown site run by unserious people
They say no. I believe them, not yahoo
Of course there is tension, they're educated. tRump's daily Improv session would freak out anyone with an I.Q. above room temperature.
Lie!
Stop trying to make this a f$cking thing
They are medical advisors. While this is obviously a huge issue it is not the only issue. This virus is their only concern. You can pretend the economy & unemployment is a nonissue but it just isn't true. Ppl's lives can be devastated by many things.
So you’re saying he should just have a bunch of yes-men?
All epidemiologists would want unlimited mitigation. We can’t afford that. The job of our government is to way the costs and benefits and come up with a phase 2 plant to sensibly reopen
Fake news!!
Of course they exist. That’s what happens between an intelligent pragmatist and a narcissist moron who’s batting so far out of his league.
Good.
This isn't true, but I wish it was. These doctors are advisors, and ONLY advisors. Trump has the entire country to run, not just this virus response. There should be MORE tension & pushback until they figure out a way to accomplish all goals. Trump only knows how to win & he will
Good they both need to go, their past associations & alliances are suspect.
because she is smart and he is a douche
That’s why he’s the president and they’re not
Everyone should be questioning each other, nobody’s decisions are perfect, the more questions, the better
I didn’t vote for epidemiologists to run the country.
Tell me genius, why did the government stop tracking pneumonia deaths this year compared to previous years. Something stinks to hell about all these deaths being labeled corona yet no deaths with pneumonia. Or very few.
What else is new
Perhaps cause they’re psycho gates cronies And we are sick of his poison vaccination and depopulation bullshit
There’s supposed to be. The most successful hire people who are willing to share their honest opinion, not what they think their boss wants to hear. And the most successful bosses value and listen to their advice, but make what they believe to be the best decision.
Need other voices in the room. If I'm in the hospital and the doctor said here are your options, I also want to know what are the costs. I may not want to choose the best option if it means losing everything and putting my wife and kids in the poor house.
good were need not take advice from the likes of Emperor Fauci.
It's a start.
She worked for Bill Gates , look up event 201 .
This is all made up. No facts presented..just endless meaningless words from a 3rd party...a whistleblower of old news
They are advisers. They aren't the decision makers. This is how it is supposed to work.
Good. They use broken models, they refuse to embrace what the world's physicians have found to be successful and at least one (Fouci) will make lots of money on a vaccine, if things are delayed for several months. They aren't trustworthy.
Good! They are his advisors there should be a certain level of back and forth and push back from both sides
Good.
That’s bc the numbers aren’t adding up!!! Big shocker there!!!!
Riiiight.....
Good.
Maybe because the models are totally wrong and being used for political reasons to scare people?
Good.... we didn’t elect their ass they are advisors!! I’ll say it louder for the people in the back the President of the United States is DONALD J. TRUMP nobody else he will Malaya’s make the final call!!!!
More YAHOO Lies.
And I bet you decided there was 'tension' based on that photo.
Good. These clowns will drive us off a cliff, if they haven’t already.
CDC is telling hospitals to list Corona virus as the cause of death, it's all a hoax to take down our economy and try to vaccinate us.
The doctors doctor. But leaders must lead.
Crappy reporting by Yahoo but god for the President
Duh, it's a tense time. Does everyone on your staff agree about everything all the time?
So nothing to report about what they actually said today? Just that there are tensions? Great reporting yahoo news.
Whoopdydoo. There is always tension in a team. Always.
Fauci and Birx are both DEEP in the pocket of Bill Gates. They have a vested interest in continuing this drastic over-reaction.
Lies
Good, he has to manage all aspects of the country not just one
Good.
It’s hard to be unbiased when you have a predetermined framing
Look into these country killing deep state actors. Their days are numbered. Me, I'm talking some hydroxychloroquine if I get sick and am going back to work.
They’ve been given a little too much power to decide what goes on in the country! They’ve not elected officials their information to a degree is helpful, but their politics are not welcomed!
Refuted, explicitly and decisively, by both of the advisers shown in the picture. If I recall correctly, Dr. Fauci admonished the news media for this, saying 'it doesn't help' and exhorted them to stop. The nytimes 'journalists' on the byline explain why this was written.
Well, Dr. Fauci was part of the HIV/AIDS scam that screwed France and set the HIV research decades behind. All in the name of supporting the pharmaceutical companies profits. I wouldn't trust any 'advisor' that has been in government for several years, much less decades...
What a skewed and obviously biased poorly written article.
Yep. The Murray model is off by 4x re hospital resource utilization. Nyc is rolling over. Spain. Italy peaked. Finally today Napoleon Fauci admitted to life reopening.
There should be plenty of tension they’re doctors not economists.
Good. It should be. To me that’s good leadership because people are able to disagree. Overall the president, whoever it is, has the last say.
What do you expect from a science denier anyway? StopAiringTrump
There should be tension... they keep pushing modeling as the way to view things... and the models keep falling apart.
It would be troubling if there wasn't tension.
Can you really believe anything about trump from the media. They have been wrong so many times. Biased. Not neutral.
So what? You don't think there are tensions inside any office of any organization in the world, especially under such unprecedented pressure? I'd be far more worried if there were not tensions. Hell, conflict inside an organization is a good thing. It breeds smart decisions.
Medical advisors aren't the leader of the free world, it should be tense......
You
Good
Good. Dump Fauci.
More FAKE NEWS
Are we wondering why
Cringe. The left really can’t meme
Good. They have other motives. As long as this is “total chaos” they’re in front of cameras and important. They’re always going to over exaggerate everything. So far, we’re well behind anynprohections they’ve touted.
Likely a lie and fake nooz
'We’ve tracked the Donald J. Trump administration’s response to the pandemic from the very beginning. It’s no wonder most Americans don’t know how seriously to take the coronavirus.' - NewYorkTimes he is a JOKE
