The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has admitted!The agency has major "errors" in response to the epidemic of new crown pneumonia

According to the "New York Post" reported on the 17th, the person in charge of the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledged on Wednesday that the agency had major "errors" in responding to the epidemic in the new coronary pneumonia and announced a comprehensive reform plan.

In a statement, the US CDC director Rosel Valenzki said that the agency has been preparing for such epidemics for 75 years, "at our major moment, our performance has indeed not reached expectations."

In another interview, Valenzky talked about the response measures for the United States to face the epidemic. "Self -examination of the mirror", learn from the lesson, and then understand "what are the aspects and how to do better."

On Wednesday, the U.S. officials announced the reform news to the employees in a video. A source who had watched this video told Bloomberg that many employees may face "reshuffle" in this reform.

According to the source, Valenceki said: "Before this popularity, CDC and infrastructure from all over the United States were too fragile to deal with the new crown pneumonia." Responsible for some particularly dramatic and open mistakes -from detection, data to communication. "

Bloomberg noticed that the announced reform plan will completely change the operation of CDC's operation and institutional culture, and from focusing on academic research to priority to respond to new emergencies.

"My goal is to establish a new culture -oriented culture at CDC, emphasizing accountability, cooperation, communication, and timely," Valentoski said. "".

Earlier, the outside world generally criticized the agency's response when facing the new crown pneumonia's epidemic, and the external information on masks, compulsory measures, maintenance of social distance and testing was also very chaotic. Not only the epidemic of new coronary pneumonia, but also the US CDC's response to other public health threats has also been criticized more and more, including monkey acne.

It is reported that Mary Wakefield, the head of the Health Resources and Service Administration, began to be a senior consultant to CDC this week and is responsible for implementing these reforms this week. She said that a new executive committee is being established to help CDC director Valenceki formulate strategies and priority matters.

Valenceki insisted that the reform was proposed by CDC himself, not directed by the White House or other government officials. She said: "After three years of challenging, I think I have the responsibility to lead CDC to a better direction."

However, Jason Schwartz, a health policy researcher at the School of Public Health of Yale University, emphasized that the failure of the US federal government's resistance to resistance is not only the issue of CDC, because the White House and other institutions are involved. Schwarz said that the reorganization CDC is a positive step, but "I hope not stop here."
