The Executive Order was just before the official influenza season, Sept 2019. The EO addresses influenza but did not mention the specific corona strain.
Sounds like President Trump believed CDC should perform their responsibility to prepare and monitor for influenza and other diseases. Meanwhile, Congress was failing in its responsibility to provide appropriations before the fiscal year. Appropriations were not passed until Dec 20 and reduced amounts for line items associated with the flu.
CDC Appropriations by Congress
Start of fiscal year Oct 1 2019
Congress passed appropriations Dec 20 2019 and signed into law
3 month delay in CDC being budgeted operational funds to prepare for the flu season and corona virus.
(immunization and respiratory diseases funding was decreased)
(public health preparedness and response funding was decreased)

uhmmmmm uhmmmmmm uhmmmmm *
virus be gone, away from me virus
HEY! it works! I don't have the corona virus.
ThanQ, Already had the diggs and just left the CDC website so knwe the seasonal start details. To me, looks like President Trump knew Congress would be derelict and had to go the EO method so what funds available to CDC could be re-purposed.
The CDC spreadsheet of weekly mortality is available on the CDC Weekly Influenza Update webpage.
>https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm
Near bottom of the webpage is the graph "Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) Mortality Surveillance" and select "View Chart Data" to open the excel spreadsheet. The typical flu season begins late September (week 39/40) into the following year (after week 20 drops off).
sample of results:
using cdc chart and seasonal range week 40 to following week 20
2018-2019 influenza deaths 6912 (column H)
2018-2019 pneumonia + influenza deaths 122436 (column G + H)
2019-2020 influenza deaths 3994 (column H)
2019-2020 pneumonia + influenza deaths 70248 (column G + H)
(results can vary by column ie total, combined, influenza specific as well as weeks used)
(thus media will select parameter ranges to say the President is wrong)
Likely expedited orders to restock store shelves for the Great TP Panic of 2020.
Bet the trucking firms expediting drivers to pickup stock are smiling from expedite surcharge and keeping all the drivers busy.
P&G gets to move out all the stock stored in the shipping areas.
TP economy is Bomming! kek
