Also Congress stalled action on fighting the virus by not passings FY2020 appropriations for H&HS which includes CDC. Originally in bill HR 2740.

 

President Trump signed EO 13887 on Sept 19 2019 to make flu season preparations and immunization a priority of the CDC. This allowed the CDC to redirect availble funds until appropriations passed.

 

Congress did not pass the appropriations until consolidated with others on Dec 19, 2019 in HR 1865. The passed appropriations reduced two key CDC line items from the FY2019 funds:

immunization and respiratory diseases reduced $44,750,000

public health preparedness and response reduced $615,000,000

 

Three months of CDC work was hindered by lack of appropriations. Also diggs of WA DOH and other states webpages indicate little preemptive training or planning was conducted on the state level beyond posting CDC resource links.

France to mobilise 100,000 police to enforce lockdown

 

France will deploy 100,000 police officers to ensure that people abide by restrictions on movement to avoid the spread of coronavirus, its interior minister has said.

 

Christophe Castaner said people who venture outside their homes will have to justify their reason for doing so.

 

Speaking at a news conference, he said people may be fined if they break the rules.

 

Exceptions will be made in some circumstances, including for travel between home and work, Mr Castaner said.

 

"Too many people still disregard the health instructions given," Mr Castaner said.

 

His announcement comes after French President Emmanuel Macron unveiled a series of drastic new measures designed to stem the spread of coronavirus.

 

From Tuesday, people should stay at home unless they are buying groceries, travelling to work, exercising or seeking medical care, Mr Macron said.
