Whistleblower Says Federal Employees Flown From Coronavirus Sites Didn’t Follow Safety Protocols
Employees weren’t tested for virus before leaving California quarantine sites on commercial flights, complaint says.
A whistleblower alleges that some federal employees were sent to work at coronavirus quarantine locations in California without adequate safety protocols and then flew back home on commercial airplanes, according to a person familiar with the complaint against the Department of Health and Human Services.
The complaint, which HHS said it was evaluating, focuses on some employees who work at the Administration for Children and Families, or ACF, an HHS division that handles programs such as Head Start and disaster emergency response and that performed functions at some of the quarantine camps.
The U.S. repatriated Americans from China on planes chartered by the State Department in early February. They were subject to 14-day quarantines.
Employees didn’t receive prior safety training relevant to the California assignment, the whistleblower alleges, according to the person familiar with the complaint.
The employee who filed the complaint said she declined to go to one of the quarantine sites and was then reassigned for raising concerns about employee safety, according to the person familiar with the complaint.
The employees weren’t tested for the coronavirus before they left two California quarantine sites, the March Air Reserve Base in Riverside and Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, and flew home, the person familiar with the complaint said.
There is no evidence that any of the workers contracted or spread the virus.
In response to the complaint, Caitlin Oakley, a spokeswoman at HHS, said Thursday: “We take all whistleblower complaints very seriously and are providing the complainant all appropriate protections under the Whistleblower Protection Act.
We are evaluating the complaint and have nothing further to add at this time.”
Earlier Thursday, without mentioning a whistleblower complaint, Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D., Calif.) asked HHS Secretary Alex Azar Thursday if there was a lapse in basic safety protocol at the air force bases that could have “endangered the employees and other Americans.”
Mr. Azar said he was unaware of any concerns.
“I don’t believe that’s taken place,” Mr. Azar testified Thursday in a House budget hearing.
He also said he disagreed with a characterization by Mr. Gomez that it was “chaotic” on the ground at the two quarantine bases.
Mr. Azar said he wasn’t aware of any violation of quarantine or violation of protocols at the sites.
“Urgency does not compensate for violating isolation and quarantine protocols for personal protection,” he added.
According to the person familiar with the complaint, it was filed to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, a permanent and independent agency that deals with whistleblower complaints from executive-branch employees.
The complaint might put additional pressure on the Trump administration, which has faced criticism from some Democrats for its handling of the coronavirus outbreak.

The number of cases here in the US is minimal, and ALL OF THEM are currently in stable condition. Maybe it's time to give Trump all the credit for stopping flights from China and ordering quarantines on others last month. China got pissed off at that big time, and naturally every left-wing media outlet opposed that action, calling Trump racist and stupid for doing so! Of course, now that Trump's actions likely prevented a major outbreak here, the same fake news Trump haters STILL criticize him constantly.Misty » 27 Feb 2020 4:19 pm » wrote: So you're going with the 'so what, people die all the time' defense?

Not in the US, where the lethal rate is ZERO%

If you listened to the experts instead of listening to Sniffles who keeps comparing it to the flu, or Rush Limbaugh who called it 'the common cold' you might know that.

Sorry, but I don't feel very assured by the fact that Trump has gutted the healthcare infrastructure that was set up to deal with pandemics like this, and has appointed Pence to head up the coronavirus task force, who in turn named Larry Kudlow and Steve Mnuchin to the task force.Zeets2 » 28 Feb 2020 7:42 am » wrote:Of course, now that Trump's actions likely prevented a major outbreak here, the same fake news Trump haters STILL criticize him constantly.

Nobody's saying it's all over. We're saying that you simply can't compare the kind of care the infected are getting in China compared to what they would receive here. You're looking at stats from China and Iran, for example, and believing it's going to be just as bad here. Sorry, I don't believe that. And it's a debate I'll be happy to have in the months to come, and I'll admit it if I turn out to be wrong.
The government health care experts are saying that it is inevitable that there will be more cases, which is why Trump has now muzzled them.
And what does that mean? Does "more" mean double the handful of the few dozen people here that now have it and are being treated, or does it mean they expect thousands more? Trump isn't saying anything different. He says it could be more than we expect or it can be less than we expect. What's so wrong with that?
I didn't hear any media outlets calling him racist and stupid for doing that.
Trump himself has stated that. I'll try to find where that came from.
You probably heard that on FOX News TRUMP TV or some other right wingnut source.
FYI the CDC was against bringing those 14 infected people back to the U.S. but the State Dept. overruled them.
Those people sat on buses with people who were not infected and flew on the same plane with them.

What medical background do any of them have?
Nothing has been "gutted". There is no evidence that we can't handle whatever epidemic happens.
And Pence and the HHS Sectetary can't even seem to agree on which one of them is in charge.
The HHS Secretary BTW was a lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry and also has no medical background.
I've got full confidence in their abilities to handle it. Too many liberals are hoping for a major disaster just to have another reason to try to destroy Trump. Nothing changes.

There is zero chance of anticipating sudden occurrences like this let alone preventing them, and even trying would help bankrupt us.
