Mike Bloomberg’s campaign announced Wednesday that it would air a new 30-second ad titled “Pandemic” asserting that the US was not prepared for the coronavirus because of President Trump’s budget cuts at the Centers for Disease Control, among others.

“With the virus officially hitting the US and spreading, Americans are becoming increasingly worried for their health and safety — but because of President Trump’s reckless cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s funding and his senseless elimination of protective measures put in place following the last pandemic Ebola virus outbreak, the US is underprepared for coronavirus,” Bloomberg’s campaign charged.

The 30-second spot — the latest aired by the former mayor, who has spent millions of dollars of his own money on campaign ads — will run nationally on cable, broadcast and digital platforms.

“Trump is putting American lives at risk every day, ignoring science, claiming the virus will ‘miraculously’ disappear by April and relying on ‘warm weather’ to end the spread of the virus. It is clearer than ever that the country needs a leader with real experience managing a crisis,” Team Bloomberg continued.

“Managing a crisis is what Mike Bloomberg does,” the ad itself begins. “In the aftermath of 9/11, he steadied and rebuilt America’s largest city, oversaw emergency response to natural disasters, upgraded hospital preparedness to manage health crises, and he’s funding cutting edge research to contain epidemics.”

The new ad came as Trump pushed back Wednesday against criticism that his administration wasn’t doing enough to meet the coronavirus threat, and some lawmakers called for giving disease fighters far more cash than the $2.5 billion the White House has requested.

And a day after he sought to minimize fears of the virus spreading widely across the US, Trump prepared to hold a White House press conference with experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Meanwhile, two new coronavirus cases have been reported in Americans who had traveled on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, health officials said Wednesday. The new cases bring the US tally to 59.

The president, meanwhile, took to Twitter to lash out at the media and Democrats for supposedly sensationalizing the threat — and sending the stock market into the toilet.

“Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC (Comcast) & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible. Likewise their incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades are all talk, no action. USA in great shape!” the commander in chief charged.

Stock markets globally have wiped out $3.3 trillion of value in the past four trading sessions, as measured by the MSCI all-country index.

In the US, the Dow dropped nearly 2,000 points Monday and Tuesday — and was down nearly 130 points Wednesday at 2 p.m.

Trump also tweeted that the CDC, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and others in the administration were “doing a great job with respect to Coronavirus!”

Sen. Chuck Schumer’s pitched an $8.5 billion plan — more than triple Trump’s request.

It includes $4.5 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services to work to contain the outbreak in the US, $1 billion to develop and manufacture a vaccine, $1 billion to help other countries battle the coronavirus, and $2 billion to reimburse states for costs incurred in tackling the outbreak.

“We will put together a supplemental that will address this issue,” said Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., who chairs a key panel that sets spending for health agencies.

DeLauro dismissed the White House’s $2.5 billion request, saying the two-page summary submitted with it appeared to have been put together without much thought.

She contrasted it to a 28-page submission from the Obama administration on Ebola.

Testifying before her committee Wednesday, Azar said, “I appreciate your frustration with the two-page letter being the documentation,” but he said he believes $2.5 billion will be enough for now.

“If it doesn’t fund it, we’ll come back to you,” he added.

In 2018 the CDC cut 80 percent of its efforts to prevent global disease outbreaks because it was running out of money.

The administration also closed down the global-health security unit of the National Security Council, and cut federal spending on health by about $15 billion.
