Public health officials warn of ‘inevitable’ spread of coronavirus in U.S.
Trump administration health officials urged the public Tuesday to prepare
for the “inevitable” spread of the coronavirus within the United States,
escalating warnings about a growing threat from the virus to Americans’
everyday lives.
The urgent new tone from leaders of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and the National Institutes of Health came in response to a rapid
surge in cases in new locations outside mainland China in the past several
days, including new cases without a known source of exposure in Hong Kong,
Iran, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand. It came as
stock markets dived for the second straight day on fears of the virus
spreading.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said officials cautioned during a closed-door
briefing with senators that there was a “very strong chance of an extremely
serious outbreak of the coronavirus here in the United States.”
Separately, on a conference call with reporters, public health officials
repeated dire warnings.
“Ultimately we expect we will see community spread in the United States. It
’s not a question of if this will happen, but when this will happen, and
how many people in this country will have severe illnesses,” said Nancy
Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory
Diseases.
Messonnier said evidence of so-called “community spread” far beyond
mainland China is triggering new strategies to blunt the impact of illness
and slow the spread of the respiratory virus. There is growing evidence that
efforts to contain the spread of the virus outside of China have failed.
There are now almost 1,000 cases in South Korea, at least 15 people have
died in Iran, and cases were reported for the first time in Switzerland,
Austria, and at a luxury resort in Spain.
The CDC said the agency would be focusing on containing the spread of the
virus in the United States, as well as warning people to prepare. Health
officials are urging businesses, health-care facilities and even schools to
plan now for ways to limit the impact of the illness when it spreads in the
community.
Businesses need to consider replacing in-person meetings with telework.
Schools should consider ways to limit face-to-face contact, such as dividing
students into smaller groups, school closures and Internet-based learning.
Local officials should consider modifying, postponing or canceling large
gatherings. Hospitals should consider ways to triage patients who do not
need urgent care and recommend patients delay elective surgery.
The government can quarantine you for coronavirus, and there’s almost
nothing you can do about it
School closures may be among the most effective ways to limit person-to-
person spread, which is the main way coronavirus is transmitted. But it is
also the one likely to cause the most unwanted consequences and disruptions
from missed work and loss of income, Messonnier said.
“Disruptions to everyday life may be severe, but people might want to start
thinking about that now,” she said. She said parents may want to call
their local school offices to see what kinds of plans they have in place and
consider what they would do if they had no child care. Messonnier added
that she called her children’s superintendent office to find out what plans
the school system had. These kinds of questions will help everyone be
better prepared, she said.
The message from public health officials contrasts with that of the White
House. On Tuesday, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow tried to
assuage concerns over the coronavirus and its impact on the U.S. economy.
“We have contained this. I won’t say [it’s] airtight, but it’s pretty
close to airtight,” Kudlow told CNBC’s Kelly Evans on “The Exchange.” He
added that, while the outbreak is a “human tragedy,” it will likely not
be an “economic tragedy.”
Some senators who attended Tuesday’s briefing downplayed any alarmist tone
from health officials. However, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said senators
were told the number of cases in the United States would inevitably grow.
There are now 57 people with the virus in the United States, almost all but
14 of them evacuees from the Diamond Princess cruise ship.
“What we heard was that it’s inevitable that we’ll have more than 14
cases as time goes on,” Alexander said. “And what we’ll have to try to do
is the same thing we’ve already done through quarantining and monitoring
through our public health system to limit that as much as possible.”
Lawmakers of both parties also raised concerns about the administration’s
level of preparation, plans for devoting resources to combat the virus and
poor communication between agencies and Capitol Hill.
Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-La.) criticized the lawmaker briefing, because he
said that while issuing dire warnings, officials could not answer his basic
questions.
“I thought a lot of the briefing was bull----,” Kennedy said. “They would
answer the question but dodge, bob and weave. I understand there’s a lot
they don’t know. I get that. But they need to answer the questions straight
up. They all talk about a task force, a committee — a committee’s not
going to solve this problem.”
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said he has had trouble getting answers about how
exactly the administration is spending money Congress has already provided,
including a new $105 million infectious disease fund that has allowed
agencies flexibility in responding to the virus.
“With that flexibility comes responsibility, and I don’t think we’re
getting the information we need as quickly as we should be getting it or
need to have it,” Blunt said. The senator said he expressed his concerns to
agency leaders and staff at the closed-door briefing Tuesday.
Blunt spoke to reporters after presiding over a separate Senate
Appropriations hearing where Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar
defended the administration’s new $1.8 billion emergency spending request
for the virus, which includes $1.25 billion in new money and transfers other
funds from ebola research. The total amount the administration proposes to
spend to combat the virus is at least $2.5 billion, according to the request
released late Monday.
Democrats slammed the request as woefully inadequate as they excoriated the
administration for cutting public health budgets for years. Even some
Republicans questioned whether it was enough.
“I think the American people are very concerned and should be. I’m
concerned,” said Appropriations Chairman Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala). “It
could be an existential threat to a lot of people in this country. This is
not politics, this is doing our job for the American people.”
Shelby went on to tell Azar: “If you lowball something like this you’ll
pay for it later. You’re not only dealing with the crisis you’re dealing
with the perception of the American people."
Azar pushed back against senators’ complaints. He pointed to the use of the
first federal quarantine authority in more than 50 years to contain the
disease and efforts to restrict travel from China. He said the
administration’s supplemental request focused on “five key critical
success factors”: expanding surveillance for coronavirus in the United
States, support for state and local governments, procuring and supporting
research and development of vaccines and therapeutics, and acquiring
additional personal protective equipment such as masks and ventilators.
“The steps the president has taken are the most aggressive containment
measures ever taken,” Azar said in response to senators’ questions about
the supplemental and whether the administration was adequately preparing. “
Our country is preparing every day.”
Murray also pressed Azar on administration efforts to test people for the
coronavirus, asking whether a faulty CDC test has limited the ability to
test potential carriers. Azar denied that the CDC test did not work, but
only a handful of state laboratories can currently run tests outside of the
CDC in Atlanta because the CDC kits sent out nationwide a week and a half
ago included a faulty component. Azar told senators the administration hoped
to expand the U.S. surveillance system for coronavirus to be comparable to
flu surveillance.
Trump said the U.S. was “very close to a vaccine.” While top health
officials have heralded the record speed with which they expect to get a
coronavirus vaccine into early clinical safety tests – they have said that
could happen within the next two months – it will likely be at least a year
or year-and-a-half before the vaccine is widely available. Senators who
were briefed by top health officials on Tuesday said they were told it would
be about a year-and-a-half until the vaccine was completed.
