Two top administration officials last year listed the threat of a pandemic as an issue that greatly worried them, undercutting President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the coronavirus pandemic was an unforeseen problem.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Tim Morrison, then a special assistant to the President and senior director for weapons of mass destruction and biodefense on the National Security Council, made the comments at the BioDefense Summit in April 2019.
"Of course, the thing that people ask: 'What keeps you most up at night in the biodefense world?' Pandemic flu, of course. I think everyone in this room probably shares that concern," Azar said, before listing off efforts to mitigate the impact of flu outbreaks.
Trump claims that, when Azar said in 2019 that the thing that "keeps him up at night" is the threat of a flu pandemic, Azar was not talking about any specific pandemic but only "the concept" of a pandemic, and in fact no one anticipated a specific pandemic would actually happen.
WTF does he think, if he does at all.
It is not a reality TV show, regardless of what the occupant of the WH claims.
It could easy be 8 more days to a million cases in US
