Trump's recklessness exacerbates the Corona crisis in the United States and the world




The Washington Post revealed that, in January and February, the CIA alerted secretly that the Corona virus (Covid 19) had turned into a global pandemic, but President Donald Trump underestimated that warning. The newspaper added that Trump and US lawmakers played down the intelligence warning and failed to take measures that would curb the spread of the epidemic that has infected more than 19,770 people within the United States.

The US intelligence did not specify, at the time, the likely date of the virus reaching or spreading it on American soil on a large scale, but it was aware of the outbreaks in China and other countries.



The American intelligence was satisfied with noting the frequency of the spread of the virus, and warned that the Chinese authorities are trying to reduce the severity of the disease because they do not reveal accurate information about the health status.


Earlier, Trump praised his administration's efforts to rein in the Corona virus because it had imposed rapid restrictions on entry to the Chinese or people who visited the Asian country, but the United States soon saw a significant rise in the number of people infected. "Trump might not have expected this to happen," said an official, who declined to be named, "but other government officials were waiting for things to get worse, but they couldn't get Trump to do anything."



US Central and National Intelligence, comment on the "Washington Post" report on Trump's disregard of the upcoming epidemic.

The White House attacked "skeptics"

Meanwhile, a White House spokesperson said that President Trump has taken strict and historic measures to protect Americans' health, well-being, and safety.

Hogan Gedley added that it is "disgusting" for sources, not named, to try to rewrite history and deny Trump's efforts to protect American health.



A number of American health experts have accused China of hiding the virus when it began to circulate, saying that Beijing wasted precious time that could limit the transmission of corona to other countries of the world.

In late January and early February, US intelligence officials increased the severity of the warning and constantly alerted to a worsening situation.

The newspaper reported, that Senator Richard Burr, who had seen the intelligence warning, attempted to sell shares worth $ 628,000 in an attempt to avoid any possible loss if the financial markets tumbled.



But Bohr defended himself, and denied that he had taken advantage of intelligence reports to protect his shares on the stock exchange, adding that he had taken the step of selling based on information available to the general public in financial markets.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Salt Lake City area on Wednesday morning, cutting tens of thousands of electricity and suspending work at a Utah public health laboratory in the midst of the Corona virus pandemic. The airport said that flights to Salt Lake International Airport were diverted, departure was delayed, and terminals and terminals cleared so that engineers could inspect the facilities. The US Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 10 miles west of Salt Lake City, near Magna, starting at 7:09 am (9:09 am ET). People gathered in Salt Lake City city center after they left their buildings due to shaking and stayed outside.

The state’s Ministry of Health said that operations at the state’s public health laboratory were halted as the building was evaluated for damage. Th...

A solar storm hits the earth on the first day of spring

Space weather forecasters have noticed a stream of solar winds coming toward us, which could hit Earth on March 19, the first day of spring. Scientists said that the solar wind could lead to the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere. The stream of particles stems from the sun from a small hole on the surface of the sun, allowing winds to penetrate the solar system and move to its depths. The Space Weather website reported global predictions: "A small current from the solar wind is expected to hit the Earth's magnetic field on March 19, which may cause the twilight to occur around the Arctic Circle. The gaseous material flows from a newly opened hole in the sun's atmosphere." The aurora borealis occurs when solar particles strike the atmosphere, and when charged particles from the sun strike atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, those atoms are excited to give different colors with diffe...

Mother's Day is a celebration that appeared recently at the beginning of the twentieth century, and is celebrated in some countries to honor mothers and motherhood, the mother's association with their children, and the influence of mothers on society.
