President to receive briefing from CDC experts on Wednesday

Public health experts have praised the CDC’s response to the outbreak in the US, though there is concern about how Trump and other members of his administration are responding to the outbreak.
Trump on Tuesday said the US was “very close” to a coronavirus vaccine, which is at least a year away from being available, in the best scenario. The White House later said the president was instead speaking about the Ebola vaccine approved two months ago.
His administration has also dismantled the office in the national security council that existed to oversee a coordinated government-wide response in the event of any illness pandemic.
The White House national economic council director, Larry Kudlow, told CNBC the US had “contained” the outbreak on Tuesday, contradicting warnings from US health officials made the same day.

Senator John Neely Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, ended a round of questions by telling Wolf: “You’re supposed to keep us safe and the American people deserve some straight answers on the coronavirus and I’m not getting them from you.”
