I completely agree. This is a very scary virus. I'm not minimizing that at all. When I compare it to the flu, I do not intend at all to suggest that this thing isn't extraordinarily serious where there are outbreaks. Only that people in the US should not be overly concerned about catching it themselves. Concerned about the people in China? Absolutely. Concerned about impact on world economy? Yep. Concerned about actually acquiring it in the US? Probably not...especially if you don't live in fear of catching the flu.
We are pretty much in agreement then. We are lucky the CDC is really good at what they do. Probably one of the most under-appreciated government agencies.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Probably need to cut their budget then.
So much this! They've let like 15 cases through to the US, that's unacceptable. What are they doing with all their money?
South Koreas numbers today are... not reassuring.
The Trump administration fired the entire pandemic response chain of command, and dismissed the White House management infrastructure. He pushed Congress to cut funding for disease security programs created by Bush and Obama. Then, Trump lopped off $15 billion in national health spending and zeroed out the global disease-fighting budgets of the CDC, NSC, DHS, and HHS.
Interesting how this isn’t politics but when another admin is shown to have tried to cut funding the post is deleted. So strange.
Yes, there's terrible moderator hypocrisy on this forum. You should be outraged.
I just fine it strange that someone brings up CDC PROPOSED cuts and when someone shows the previous guy did the same thing....it is deleted. Wonder how come?
Because you're off topic. You don't have to ruin every thread with your political garbage. This is moderating 101.If you want to 'point out hypocrisy, there is an entire world to do it. No one cares, and it isn't relevant to the discussion at hand. Yet you CONTINUE to think that it is important. If you have a problem with the post in question, report it, and ask for its removal. But your false outrage and attempts to continually change the narrative are exhausting. Its why you're so despised here. Read the room.
Coke and whores...but for medical research purposes. Probably.
Oh mods were notified.... it's weird, if no one cares why would anyone care if someone posted that the previous administration did the same thing...you know since no one cares.
TopperI am completely shocked it has taken this long for the market to respond. On 2/3 I wrote down the NASDAQ was 9270 and fully expected a big pullback starting roughly around that time. It is currently approx at that point now. I have great concerns over the virus and the how it will affect the global economy for the remainder on the year. We are in the first inning of this potential crisis., I am afraid.
This is a global pandemic whether the WHO wants to call it that or not.
