Watch the Trump Administration Fumble the Coronavirus Response in Real Time
If you tuned into the Sunday news shows this morning for comfort that the government has the COVID-19 situation well in hand, you were sorely disappointed. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson admitted there is no plan for the passengers aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship plagued with the virus that will dock in Oakland, Calif. tomorrow. And the surgeon general, Dr. Jerome Adams, refused to say how many Americans have been tested for the virus.
Appearing on ABC’s This Week, Ben Carson told host George Stephanopoulos that more than a million tests were available despite multiple news reports of physicians requesting tests and being told no. Carson also admitted that a plan for how to handle the cruise ship was not yet in place.
“The cruise ship personnel and, as you know, the vice president met with the CEOs of the major cruise ship companies yesterday, and they are coming up with a plan within 72 hours of that meeting,” Carson said.
“The ship is docking tomorrow,” Stephanopoulos said.
“The plan will be in place by that time. But I don’t want to preview the plan right now,” was Carson’s response.
