US Gov may have helped spread coronavirus: whistleblower

A whistleblower has come forward with some serious allegations, that the US government may have inadvertently helped spread the deadly COVID-19 outbreak inside US borders by breaking protocol, according to an exclusive report by The Washington Post and a followup by The New York Times.

It’s an accusation that will likely cause problems for the White House, which is already struggling to find a consistent message about the ongoing outbreak.

The whistleblower alleges that she was “unfairly and improperly reassigned” after ringing alarm bells that more than a dozen healthcare workers — from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) — were deployed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to quarantined areas in which COVID-19 patients coming from Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the outbreak, were being processed.

According to the whistleblower, the HHS workers didn’t receive adequate training and didn’t bring appropriate protective gear, potentially putting them in danger of becoming infected and infecting others.
