A reporter for the New York Times called for the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to resign during a segment Tuesday on CNN, causing his employer to say he “went too far.”
CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour spoke with the NYT’s science and health reporter Donald G. McNeil Jr. about the novel coronavirus response in America compared to around the world. McNeil said America “completely blew” the first two months of responding to the virus.
McNeil called the beginning two months of America’s response “a headless chicken phase” and compared the U. S. to China and Germany. The NYT reporter then pointed to CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield’s apparent failing of Americans and blamed what he said was a poor response from America on Redfield’s “incompetent leadership.
