Well, the CDC could start by spending their funding wisely.
Etc…

Still not reality. You’re blaming Democrats, who cannot stop a single nominee from being confirmed, of being the reason Trump has not nominated the best and brightest to fill any of the “acting” vacancies he has. It is silly. And then you finish it off with an Orange Man Bad meme. Like I said, you’re doing well! 
Ahhh out marches the “wasteful spending” tropes like shrimp marching on a treadmill.

No. I am not more concerned about the flu. If this turns out to be an engineered virus then we have something much more significant to deal with which includes political and economic ramifications.
More like, the CDC has plenty of funding to perform their jobs, so much so in fact they can waste spending.
But whatever, weren’t you were on a shrimp trope march or some such?

Nah… it is using a Bush 43 era news story and opinions peices to justify cutting spending today.
It’s cool.
Political masturbation for the most part. By declaring an emergency the mayor gets to make national headlines.
The city planners should already have a pandemic response plan on file. If anything the just need to pull it out, go through it, modernize and update for the current issue.

The Surgeon General isn’t responsible for organizing a national response to a health threat. That’s why we have the NIH and CDC.
That shrimp was jogging, not marching. Huge difference in the value the tax payers got for their money on that study…
Of course, just a few years ago we had 150 billion dollars cash just laying around doing nothing useful at all and we gave it to terrorists so they could use it to kill us with. But whats 150 billion dollars among enemies? I mean, it’s not like it could have been used to fund a lot of useful things that benefit Americans, so why squabble?

He is of course correct. The biggest danger is that both the flu and CV can lower your resistance making you more susceptible to a follow up infection of either or from secondary bacterial infections.
The other major problem is the potential for overwhelming our public health system and hospitals.
One of the reasons we have high survival rates of most communicable diseases is we have more than ample public health resources to deal with a normal flu outbreak.
Double or triple the patient load and we’ll have a lot of people dying at home for lack of hospital beds or even in hospitals for lack of adequate staffing and care.
We must have faith in his conviction, empathy, and deep deep concern.
For the stock market.
Thoughts on this from Azar?

If whomever manufactures the vaccination for Coronavirus decides to charge an absurdly high amount of money for it, then should the government have a role in stopping them?
It was really just a matter of time. We are too big of a country, with too much travel to have not been exposed. This is happening whether we want it to or not. Let us all pray the Trump administration knows what it is doing here.

You’ve got my vote!
That would be a matter for the courts, not the executive branch.
“Possible CV Exposure”, that’s not necessarily an outbreak much less a pandemic.
Well this confirms a few things. Thanks! There are 508 people in the trump administration who are not in their right mind.
