You're Fired: Trump Admin Axed CDC Epidemiologist Embedded In China Months Before COVID-19

Months before the COVID-19 pandemic began, the Trump administration eliminated a key American public health position in Beijing.

According to Reuters, the job of Dr. Linda Quick was to help detect disease outbreaks in China.

The American disease expert was a medical epidemiologist embedded in China’s disease control agency.

Sources say she left her post in July. The first cases of the new coronavirus may have emerged as early as November.
