The Health and Human Services Department's watchdog will investigate the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak.

A spokesperson for the HHS inspector general told the Washington Examiner that investigators will carry out at least five reviews “related to HHS’s planning and response of the COVID-19 outbreak.” The inquiries will scrutinize issues such as nationwide hospital responses, quarantine procedures, the training and protective gear provided to front-line health workers, nursing home standards amid a disease with an exponentially more deadly effect on the elderly and the already ill, and the ability to care for illegal border crossers and refugees during a public health crisis.

The HHS watchdog will also draw up recommendations for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.

The investigative effort will be spearheaded by Christi Grimm, the principal deputy inspector general who leads HHS’s watchdog office. The office compromises 1,600 auditors, investigators, lawyers overseeing dozens of programs run by agencies, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Administration for Children and Families, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health — all of which have played a role in the government’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak that has rattled the U.S. health system.

By the time the bureaucrats get done with this...the manufactured panic over the Chinese Corona Virus will be over and the left will have moved on to their next outrage.

So if this investigation is worth a good BM, I want to know who was responsible for replenishing equipment from the outbreak in 2009, which was NEVER replenished?  I want all involved terminated.  Total incompetence.

I know too much about the operations of the CDC.  Heads should role, but they won't because the media would have a field day.

With 1600 auditors, maybe hire Robert Meuller back, and build a fake hospital out of the paper that gets shuffled.

Are they going to audit Communist China, or Trump? Are they going to audit HHS readiness carried over from Obama?

Seriously

Seriously?
There are enough Obama holdovers out there, that if just a small fraction fall on their sword, the MSM will bleat about the "Scandal Ridden" Trump Administration right through November, and they will have made it happen.
All while they are hell-bent  on undoing the last few years of good.
