In a bipartisan thrust \u201cto reaffirm the United States commitment to global health security amid the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said on Friday said they were introducing legislation that would, among other things, establish a panel charged with preparing for pandemics.<\/p>\n

The bill (pdf<\/a>), which carries the short title \u201cGlobal Health Security Act of 2020,\u201d seeks to codify in law U.S. global health security staffing and activities, which now largely rely on executive orders. It also responds to calls for a permanent designated official to coordinate the interagency response to a health security crisis of global scope.<\/p>\n

The legislation would require the U.S. president to set up a Global Health Security Interagency Review Council and a U.S. Coordinator for Global Health Security.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy establishing a health security council and dedicating a new NSC position to developing global health strategies and coordinating responses, our bill will better prepare us to confront the spread of another infectious disease,\u201d Romney said in a statement Friday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The council, comprised of officials from across the federal government, would provide recommendations on global health policy and assist with implementation. It would meet at least four times a year.<\/p>\n

The remit of the coordinator, who would be an appointee from the National Security Council, would be to coordinate an all-of-government response to global health crises. The coordinator would brief Congress at least twice annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur experience with coronavirus has exposed some glaring gaps in our nations capacity to respond to a pandemic, and it is critical that we are better prepared to coordinate global responses and exert leadership to address future health threats,\u201d Romney added.<\/p>\n

The White House has come under fire for a 2018 decision to disband the National Security Councils global health unit, a similar entity to the one the new legislation is seeking to establish. Critics have claimed the lack of a pandemic directorate hampered the administrations response in the early stages of the outbreak.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump and administration officials have rejected such claims, saying they acted quickly to save lives, especially once the true nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus<\/a>, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, became clear. Trump has blamed both the Chinese regime and the World Health Organization (WHO) for mishandling the outbreak.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world is paying a very big price for that they did,\u201d Trump said at a March 17 briefing, referring to his claim that Chinese officials did not fully share information sooner about the outbreak after it started spreading in Wuhan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could have been stopped right where it came from, China,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

As regards the WHO, Trump said at an April 7 briefing at the White House, \u201cThey did give us some pretty bad play calling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith regard to us, theyre taking a lot of heat because they didnt want the borders closed, they called it wrong,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
