Munchhausen Syndrome?

The Jerusalem Post notes:

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may have harmed the country's ability to track and detect the spread of the CORVID-19 disease due to a series of missteps, including refusing to use the tests recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), according to ProPublica. As the virus began to spread, the CDC decided to start creating its own, more complicated test instead of using the test guidelines provided by the WHO. The test was made to check for a variety of different viruses. When the test was sent to labs across the country, it didn't work and falsely flagged the presence of other viruses in harmless samples. Until Wednesday, the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only allowed state labs to use the CDC's test. As a result, local officials didn't carry out "surveillance tests" of hundreds of people in possible hotspots, a crucial first step when coping with a possible outbreak....The delay in producing a working test could have devastating effects. If the US has dodged the rapidly spreading outbreaks affecting some countries, such as Iran and South Korea, then the impact should be negligible. However, if the disease is currently circulating undetected in communities across the country, then health official have missed a valuable chance to lessen the harm caused by the disease.

A few days back it appears that the person in charge of this area at the CDC told the world that there would be a pandemic. Perhaps it is the same person responsible for the above observations. The very agency responsible for making certain this does not happen has apparently not only allowed it, it has possibly facilitated it. All hypothetical of course but somehow connecting the dots makes one wonder.

You cannot expect the President to take the lead on this since we have career professionals in charge, one would think. Again, you want these folks to run your health care?

 Also why must we get this from foreign news sources?
