Sorry NF…Trump didn’t say that at all.

He was just commenting on the reality that Covid-19 cases are likely underreported because many people are getting such a mild case they aren’t bothering to even see a doctor.

Nowhere is he encouraging sick people to go to work.

So pathetic. ■■■■■■■ deplorable.

Why would you feel guilty if you didn’t know you had it?

You want Trump giving medical advice now?

That would be the role filled by the Surgeon General, CDC, NIH, etc.

So are most of his detractors. Endlessly.

Detty is a lying sack of ■■■■■

More than 75,000 test kits had been distributed as of last week and more on the way.

Is there any actual basis in fact for the claim he fired the Pandemic response team?

I keep seeing the claim but no evidence.

I’d like to know how it is Trump was able to violate federal worker’s rights laws in firing non political appointees who are almost impossible to fire?

Could this simply be more of the same BS related to the non renewal of the one time six year grant for the African Ebola Outbreak funding?

The top White House official responsible for leading the U.S. response in the event of a deadly pandemic has left the administration, and the global health security team he oversaw has been disbanded under a reorganization by national security adviser John Bolton.

The abrupt departure of Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer from the National Security Council means no senior administration official is now focused solely on global health security. Ziemer’s departure, along with the breakup of his team, comes at a time when many experts say the country is already underprepared for the increasing risks of a pandemic or bioterrorism attack.

Bossert went at the same time too.

Yes if i had infected someone I think I would.

He should capable to impart “stay home if you’re sick”. We expect this of a teacher or restaurant manager.

Surgeon general, CDC, should go into more details. They’re trained in the medical science fields. That’s why they’re there. :elephant::us:

So as this whining is because he eliminated an office in the WH, the team left but the CDC still has global response teams working all over the world.

Someone please show us how the response would be different if this guy was still working in the WH?

How would you know you were the source when you didn’t know you had it?

No, that’s not his role.

Dude…he had trouble with Alabama and the Hurricane this past fall. He’s not an expert at these things?

I realize that, Trump isn’t and it’s not his job.

The CDC budget went up, not down.
