No. It didn't. Several people were dismissed or left. Most of the people involved in the pandemic infrastructure are still there, but reassigned where their expertise could be used in collaboration in other areas as well.
As usual, you have no idea what you are talking about. I like you better under your Melania Trump persona. At least then I know your posts are intentionally idiotic.
So why were so unprepared?
Why did Trump ignore his intelligence?
Why did Trump ignore his advisors who were begging him to act?
Why do we have 3,535,561 (WORLD RECORD) cases and 139,032 (WORLD RECORD) deaths?

Yea - it did. Sorry you can only handle sugar coated Trump news.
VIDEO: Trump Explained Why He Fired The White House Pandemic Team
* In 2018 Trump fired Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossart, whose job was to coordinate a response to global pandemics. He was not replaced.
* In 2018 Dr. Luciana Borio, the NSC director for medical and bio-defense preparedness left the job. Trump did not replace Dr. Borio.
* In 2019 the NSC’s Senior Director for Global Health Security and bio-defense, Tim Ziemer, left the position and Trump did not replace the Rear Admiral.
* Trump shut down the entire Global Health Security and Bio-defense agency.
* Amid the explosive worldwide outbreak of the virus Trump proposed a 19% cut to the budget of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention plus a 10% cut to Public Health Services and a 7% cut to Global Health Services. Those happen to be the organizations that respond to public health threats.
* In 2018, at Trump’s direction, the CDC stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries including China.

Trump is wrong for blaming the early testing roll-out failures on Obama and you're wrong for blaming it on Trump. Most sane people blame it on a plethora of variables that can be distilled down to: bloated government bureaucracy.
Well, and Trump absolutely DESTROYED our pandemic infrastructure... so that played a role in our lack of preparedness.

America first?
The Trump administration lifted a ban on sales of silencers to private overseas buyers that was intended to protect U.S. troops from ambushes. The change was championed by a lawyer for the president who had worked for a firearms trade group.

Financial Planning. And you're right. It is very relevant now that I think about it. I do life planning for my clients. Also it's an industry that is going through major major changes which, not to make light of a pandemic, is almost harder to figure out. I am loving being involved and on the front lines of what these changes are. I'm a problem solver. Why I drive you all ***** crazy with the questions I ask. That's how you solve problems. Maybe I need to ask the teachers here more questions. I'll solve all their problems.
See? That wasn't difficult. We all have clients. Some clients are just more critical than others - our kids.

No they are making excuses as to why schools shouldn't open up. It's their industry. They work in it every day. Figure it out. There are plenty of guidelines out there to follow. We followed federal/state/county/city guidelines and we have offices in four states. It's not perfect and it never will be perfect. Neither will the schools. And I was editing my post when you replied. If you thought a bit you'd be able to answer almost all the questions you posed.
I manage people. In what industry is irrelevant.
It's very relevant. What industry?

No it's easy to say when lots have already figured it out. You whine about the poor teachers. When restaurants opened back up do you have any clue as to how many people come through a restaurant door. The staff was dying to get back to work. Grocery store workers NEVER stopped working. The workers at the gym bust their backs keeping it clean and monitoring to make sure we all have masks on the whole time.
I already told you what I do. I'm a manager. I'm a problem solver who despises the excuse makers of the world. It's hard. I get it. But I thrive on that *****.
People aren't making excuses... they want answers to their questions.
I missed your initial response. You manage exactly who? What industry?

Watch what would happen if people demanded taxes paid for education be 'defunded'
That’s actually really funny since teachers have to pay for their own supplies and just about everything for their room. Try being a kindergarten teacher - decorate that room each year - and all the creative gifts and packaging to help make their early years special? THOUSANDS go un reimbursed.Do police officers have to buy their guns? Uniforms?
13 minutes ago, Chef Jim said:Quit your whining. Every other industry in the country has figured these things out. Our HR has spent hundreds of hours on this. I was getting emails from my HR director at 9pm and I know she was in when I get in at 7am. Schools have their unique challenges but it's times like these that the cream rises and these things get worked on and figured out. You on the other hand likely will hide under your desk and whimper like a baby.
So easy to say when you have no kids, right Jim?
I’m not a teacher - I’m only highlighting a handful of the 100s of questions they have.
Jim, you’re so outspoken and opinionated about what others should do. WTF do you do? What industry?

Betsy DeVos and distinguished outspoken PPP members - I have a few questions for you:
• If a teacher tests positive for COVID-19 are they required to quarantine for 2-3 weeks? Is their sick leave covered, paid?
• If that teacher has 5 classes a day with 30 students each, do all 150 of those students need to then stay home and quarantine for 14 days?
• Do all 150 of those students now have to get tested? Who pays for those tests? Are they happening at school? How are the parents being notified? Does everyone in each of those kids' families need to get tested? Who pays for that?
• What if someone who lives in the same house as a teacher tests positive? Does that teacher now need to take 14 days off of work to quarantine? Is that time off covered? Paid?
• Where is the district going to find a substitute teacher who will work in a classroom full of exposed, possibly infected students for substitute pay?
• Substitutes teach in multiple schools. What if they are diagnosed with COVID-19? Do all the kids in each school now have to quarantine and get tested? Who is going to pay for that?
• What if a student in your kid's class tests positive? What if your kid tests positive? Does every other student and teacher they have been around quarantine? Do we all get notified who is infected and when? Or because of HIPAA regulations are parents and teachers just going to get mysterious “may have been in contact” emails all year long?
• What is this stress going to do to our teachers? How does it affect their health and well-being? How does it affect their ability to teach? How does it affect the quality of education they are able to provide? What is it going to do to our kids? What are the long-term effects of consistently being stressed out?
• How will it affect students and faculty when the first teacher in their school dies from this? The first parent of a student who brought it home? The first kid?
• How many more people are going to die, that otherwise would not have if we had stayed home longer?
30% of the teachers in the US are over 50. About 16% of the total deaths in the US are people between the ages of 45-65.
We are choosing to put our teachers in danger.
We're not paying them more.
We aren't spending anywhere near the right amount to protect them. And in turn, we are putting ourselves and our kids in danger.

Shocker
GOP quietly kills measure to discourage foreign election interference
A cynic might wonder why Republicans, just four years after an adversary launched an effective attack against our elections, have been so steadfast in their opposition to even modest efforts to prevent another round of foreign interference.
