AP Fact check on corona virus

I'm posting this because it supports a lot of the things I said in the previous post on the Corona virus:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential contenders are describing the federal infectious-disease bureaucracy as rudderless and ill-prepared for the coronavirus threat because of budget cuts and ham-handed leadership by President Donald Trump.
That’s a distorted picture. For starters, Trump hasn’t succeeded in cutting the budget.He’s proposed cuts but Congress ignored him and increased financing instead. The National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren’t suffering from budget cuts that never took effect.

and here is the part discussing what I said about the CDC etc. already having plans on file that only need to be tweeked to be put into place:

The public health system has a playbook to follow for pandemic preparation — regardless of who’s president or whether specific instructions are coming from the White House. Those plans were put into place in anticipation of another flu pandemic, but are designed to work for any respiratory-borne disease.
