Piers Morgan, one of Trumps 'friends', and a Boris supporter, I believe, just ripped them both a new a-hole in an interview about how they're handling this crisis (hint: they're not).

 

"All that is required from the president in those moments, and any world leader, frankly, they have to be calm, show authority, they have to be honest, they have to be accurate, entirely factual with what they’re telling the people, and they have to have an ability to show empathy... On almost every level of that, Donald Trump at the moment is failing the American people."

 

"He’s turning these briefings into a self-aggrandizing, self-justifying, overly defensive, politically partisan — almost like a rally to him. Trump’s ratings are falling, and the reason for that is — he needs to understand this — they’re falling because people don’t trust him."

 

"Please drop your angry, petty, disingenuous, blame-gaming, self-aggrandising daily briefing antics & start being a proper wartime president."

Today the Washington Post (yeah, I know) is reporting that the administration was advised of the problem by WHO and the CDC last year!!! ????

 

"More than a dozen American doctors, public health experts and researchers, many of whom work for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and are detailed to WHO, warned the administration in real time about the outbreak in China as early as last year, according to The Washington Post. Trump-appointed health officials also regularly consulted "at the highest levels" with WHO."

 

"From the beginning of the outbreak, CDC officials were tracking the disease and consulting with WHO counterparts," The Post reported. "Any information of a sensitive nature about the growing outbreak was and continues to be shared by CDC officials with other U.S. officials in a secure facility located behind the CDC's Emergency Operations Center at its Atlanta headquarters. In the early days of the virus response, those officials included [Health and Human Services] Secretary Alex Azar."
