Xi warned Trump of all the facts and dangers.

Yet Trump continued to blame and denigrate China.

That is typical Trump, continually place the blame on the very entity that tried to help you. Then when the advice is found out it won’t matter because people will have already been gaslighted into believing the lie.

On Jan. 3, Dr. Gao Fu, head of China’s disease control agency, informed his U.S. counterpart, Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the CDC, in an emotional telephone call that the outbreak was growing out of control, according to the same federal official and a former NSC official. Both said they had been informed of the details.

The CDC, a part of HHS, confirmed to Reuters that it learned of an outbreak in late December and that the call with Gao occurred Jan. 3.
