Good god this administration is a sociopathic, short-sighted, myopic, idiotic fucking dumpster fire.

Trump doesn’t care, he’s got a sealed bunker under his current residence.
Probably has one at the tower too..

It's clear... The GOP is trying to rid the US of all poor and/or brown people. Live births have let them know we whites are done as the majority in this country. They can't kill them off fast enough. Sorry Trump...

Gotta save that last 20% for Norway

I think to myself "this can't be... Trump is a germaphobe, no way he'd risk allowing a global pandemic."

But then I remember he's the dumbshit who eats McDonald's because the food is "clean".

 

[brycejones]

America first and last

 

[HomerJS]

Not limited to this thread its going to take a big loss of lives to wake Trump voters up to what they have done. Similar to a drug addict hitting rock bottom.

There's still no cure for the flu-

No but theres immunization to the flu which is just as good if not better.
A tiny CDC is probably gonna change all that.

This year's flu vaccine was between 10-20% effective in Canada...US stats should be out soon but probably not much better.

Just another example of what keeps getting displayed by the current admin, and Repubs. too it seems.....they know the price of everything but cannot fathom the cost of anything.

They're just shithole countries so why should the US spend it's money to help them with anything. If all those folks die from disease, they won't be turning up at the border trying to get in. Sounds like a win-win situation for all the little trumpets and trumpettes in America.

Not.... my wife nearly died of the flu last year and she gets the flu shot every year.

Low tax free market trickle down solves all problems. We'll be sick of so much winning.

Here's the research article in PLOSone

We gotta pay for corporate tax cuts somehow. Because that's the most important thing ever.

This was a supplemental funding passed in 2014. In all reality something like this should be put into the budget. I am shocked the CDC only has 60 million in core funding?

Holy shit, 60 million?!?, gotta zero that out or better yet sell their offices and have them rent out of some trump properties

 

[dyna]

The last paragraph of the article pretty much states they will get funding. This seems like a blue sky is falling article to ensure/expand funding by the CDC.


They probably had a budget to run through a certain date, probably over spent and are trying to use media to influence the govt budget planning.

 

[child of wonder]

I'm a fiscal conservative that wants the government to spend less but there have to be other more sensible places to pull funding from than this.
