Rick Bright will warn Congress of 'darkest winter in modern history' without ramped up coronavirus response

(CNN)Dr. Rick Bright, the ousted director of a key federal office charged with developing medical countermeasures, will testify before Congress on Thursday that the Trump administration was unprepared for the coronavirus pandemic and warn that the the US will face "unprecedented illness and fatalities" without additional preparations.

"Our window of opportunity is closing. If we fail to develop a national coordinated response, based in science, I fear the pandemic will get far worse and be prolonged, causing unprecedented illness and fatalities," Bright is expected to say Thursday, according to his prepared testimony obtained by CNN. "Without clear planning and implementation of the steps that I and other experts have outlined, 2020 will be darkest winter in modern history."
Bright is set to testify Thursday morning before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce's health subcommittee after he filed a whistleblower complaint last week alleging he was removed from his post in retaliation for opposing the broad use of a drug frequently touted by President Donald Trump as a coronavirus treatment.

Bright will reiterate that he believes he was removed from his post because he "resisted efforts to promote and enable broad access to an unproven drug, chloroquine, to the American people without transparent information on the potential health risks."

Bright is seeking to be reinstated to his position as the head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and the Office of Special Counsel, which is reviewing Bright's complaint, has determined there is reason to believe his removal was retaliatory and is recommending he be reinstated during its investigation, according to Bright's attorneys.

A Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson responded that it was "a personnel matter that is currently under review" but said it "strongly disagrees with the allegations and characterizations."
Expanding on his whistleblower complaint, Bright is expected to testify that he sought to warn his superiors about potential shortages of critical medical supplies earlier this year, but that his "urgency was dismissed" and that he "faced hostility and marginalization from HHS officials" after conveying his concerns about shortages to a senior White House official, Peter Navarro.

"As I reflect on the past few months of this outbreak, it is painfully clear that we were not as prepared as we should have been. We missed early warning signals and we forgot important pages from our pandemic playbook," Bright will testify, according to his written testimony.
In his written testimony, Bright also calls for several key steps to improve the federal government's response to the pandemic and head off a spike in cases in the fall, including increasing public education of preventative measures, ramping up production of essential medical supplies and developing a national testing strategy.
"The virus is out there, it's everywhere. We need to be able to find it, to isolate it and to stop it from infecting more people," Bright plans to say. "We need tests that are accurate, rapid, easy to use, low cost, and available to everyone who needs them."

Leaked White House data: Infections spiking over 1,000% in some areas

Leaked White House data shows infections spiking more than 1,000% in rural areas that backed Trump
Trump claims cases are falling everywhere. An unreleased task force report shows massive spikes in the heartland

A leaked unreleased White House coronavirus task force report showing cases spiking in areas across the country has undercut President Donald Trump's claim that cases are declining across the nation.

"You know, the numbers are coming down very rapidly all throughout the country, by the way," Trump declared at a Monday news conference. "There may be one exception, but all throughout the country, the numbers are coming down rapidly."


This is, of course, not true. Though cases are decreasing in 14 states, they are rising in nine states, according to The New York Times. A lack of widespread testing in 27 other states, plus Washington and Puerto Rico, suggests that cases in those areas are being undercounted.

But a leaked coronavirus task force report obtained by NBC News shows that some parts of the country — rural counties in Tennessee and Kansas — have seen cases balloon by more than 1,000% in a matter of one week. Other counties in Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin saw increases of more than 400%.

Dr. John Ross, a professor at Harvard Medical School, pointed out that all but one of the top 10 counties that saw the largest increases voted for President Donald Trump in 2016.

it's spiked in rural Weld County which is just east of Larimer where I am. JBS is in Weld, went back to business and NEVER tested the returning employees.

Her employer has started using software called Time Doctor. It downloads videos of employees' screens while they work. It also can enable a computer's webcam to take a picture of the employee every 10 minutes.

"If you're idle for a few minutes, if you go to the bathroom or whatever, a pop-up will come up and it'll say, 'You have 60 seconds to start working again or we're going to pause your time,' " the woman said.

Your Boss Is Watching You: Work-From-Home Boom Leads To More Surveillance

With more people now working from home, employers are increasingly relying on tracking software to monitor what employees do when they're on the clock.

so employers need software to be able to tell if their employee is productive? you can't tell by their performance? so what if someone has their FB or YT open at the same time they are working on their job window? people have play lists and listen to music, podcasts etc in the background. .

many years ago my dad told me my aunt died because she was hit by a car which released cancer in her body which ultimately she succumbed to- breast cancer..i was 13 at the time. He told me to stay away from the hospital because once you go in you won't come out..and as a child albeit a questioning one, i still started to believe what i was told but then i grew up and realized that was the superstitions of those who didn't understand facts and science and that if you ignore your body- you're right, you may never come out of the hospital

my aunt was hit by a car and went to the hospital where she was diagnosed with breast cancer..apparently since it was ignored she was already like in Stage 4 and that was 1973 soooooooooooo..to this day, i'm sure he'd swear 'Aunt Sophie got hit by a car and got cancer'.

sorry dear but then you must first prove that Trump stays on as POTUS without an election. those are the rules, right?

No, it was you first who made the claim..that's how it works Trumper*.

However, I do seem to recall his 'wanting to look into president for life' comment and that's on tape.

Trump's term expires Jan 20, 2021. That was the 4 years that he was elected for. Similar to if trump/pence both croak, Pelosi takes over. same rules apply here.
