President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that the U.S. is 바카라 게임 웹사이트�very, very ready바카라 게임 웹사이트� for whatever the coronavirus threat brings, and he put his vice president in charge of overseeing the nation's response.Trump sought to minimize fears of the virus spreading widely across the U.S. But he said he was ready to spend 바카라 게임 웹사이트�whatever's appropriate,바카라 게임 웹사이트� even if that meant the extra billions of dollars that Democrats have said is necessary to beef up the U.S. response. Trump had told Congress earlier this week that the government needed to spend $2.5 billion to fight the virus.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We're very, very ready for this, for anything,바카라 게임 웹사이트� even if it's 바카라 게임 웹사이트�a breakout of larger proportions,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Trump told a news conference.Trump and members of the administration have been sending mixed messages about the virus.Trump sought to minimize fears of the virus spreading widely across the U.S., saying, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I don't think it's inevitable.바카라 게임 웹사이트�But standing next to him at a White House news conference were health authorities who reiterated that Americans need to get ready for what could become a wider outbreak requiring such steps as school closures.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Our aggressive containment strategy here in the United States has been working and is responsible for the low levels of cases we have so far. However, we do expect more cases,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The CDC on Tuesday warned the American public to prepare for an outbreak of the disease, which has spawned more than 80,000 cases around the world but relatively few so far in the U.S.Before he flew home from India on Tuesday, Trump said the coronavirus situation is 바카라 게임 웹사이트�very well under control in our country.바카라 게임 웹사이트� Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike have questioned whether the White House's $2.5 billion request is sufficient.New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, on Wednesday unveiled an $8.5 billion request to respond to the virus outbreak, more than triple Trump's request. Schumer is asking for $4.5 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services to work to contain the outbreak in the U.S., $1 billion to develop and manufacture a vaccine, $1 billion to help other countries battle the coronavirus and $2 billion to reimburse states for costs incurred in tackling the outbreak.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We will put together a supplemental that will address this issue," said Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Calif. Aides said the House measure is likely to be unveiled next week.DeLauro dismissed the White House바카라 게임 웹사이트�s $2.5 billion request, saying the two-page summary appeared to have been put together without much thought. She contrasted it to a 28-page submission from the Obama administration on Ebola.Azar responded 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I appreciate your frustration with the two-page letter being the documentation,바카라 게임 웹사이트� but he said he believes $2.5 billion will be enough for now. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�If it doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t fund it, we바카라 게임 웹사이트�ll come back to you.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Schumer has been harshly critical of Trump's response to the outbreak, but his request 바카라 게임 웹사이트� announced before the Democratic-controlled House Appropriations Committee has weighed in 바카라 게임 웹사이트� rankled some Democrats hoping for quick, bipartisan action to address the crisis.Arriving back in the U.S. early Wednesday, Trump immediately began to push back against critics who say he should have acted sooner to bolster the federal response to the coronavirus.Trump also criticized some news media coverage of the coronavirus, accusing news outlets of 바카라 게임 웹사이트�panicking markets.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The president keeps close tabs on the stock market, seeing it as an indicator that his economic policies are working and frequently charting its growth on Twitter. Markets tumbled Monday by more than 1,000 points and again on Tuesday, and Trump noticed.In India, he said China, where the outbreak began, was getting the epidemic under control.바카라 게임 웹사이트�They바카라 게임 웹사이트�re getting it more and more under control so I think that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a problem that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s going to go away," he said in India, while noting that, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We lost almost 1,000 points바카라 게임 웹사이트� Monday on the stock market.White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham also engaged in the pushback after returning with Trump. Grisham retweeted a CDC post that said 바카라 게임 웹사이트�there is currently no reported community spread바카라 게임 웹사이트� of coronavirus in the U.S.In the tweet, the CDC advised people to take the usual precautions to avoid spreading the virus, such as staying home when sick and washing hands with soap and water.This week, the National Institutes of Health received a shipment of test doses of a vaccine candidate from Moderna Inc., in preparation for first-step safety testing in a few dozen people aimed to begin by April. But Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIH바카라 게임 웹사이트�s infectious disease chief, cautioned reporters that in a best-case scenario, "you바카라 게임 웹사이트�re talking about a year to a year and a half바카라 게임 웹사이트� before any vaccine would be ready for widespread use.Fauci said that while only a few cases have turned up in the U.S. from travelers outside the country, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We need to be able to think about how we will respond to a pandemic outbreak.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�It's very clear. If we have a global pandemic, no country is going to be without impact,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Fauci said.A pandemic involves the continual spread of sustained transmission from person to person in multiple regions and hemispheres throughout the world simultaneously, Fauci noted.Fauci called it 바카라 게임 웹사이트�quite conceivable바카라 게임 웹사이트� that the virus will 바카라 게임 웹사이트�come back and recycle next year. In that case, we hope to have a vaccine.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
