B-Man Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I see Tibsy is stuck on the disproved fake narrative.... 1 hour ago, B-Man said: No shame.......... From APNews MIKE BLOOMBERG: “There’s nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing. And he’s defunded — he’s defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don’t have the organization we need. This is a very serious thing.” — debate Tuesday night. JOE BIDEN, comparing the Obama-Biden administration with now: “We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget. … He’s wiped all that out. … He cut the funding for the entire effort.” THE FACTS: They’re both wrong to say the agencies have seen their money cut. Bloomberg is repeating the false allegation in a new ad that states the U.S. is unprepared for the virus because of “reckless cuts” to the CDC. Trump’s budgets have proposed cuts to public health, only to be overruled by Congress, where there’s strong bipartisan support for agencies such as the CDC and NIH. Instead, financing has increased. They probably both know they’re WRONG. It’s the Harry Reid motto: Well, it worked, didn’t it? ACTUAL information......... . .

Your lies will not stand up to the light of day "I'm a businessperson. I don't like having thousands of people around when you don't need them," Trump said. "When we need them, we can get them back very quickly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Surprised that no one has stated the obvious conspiracy theory - that China released this on purpose to shut down the Hong Kong protests and to weaken the West’s economies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen this speculation a lot. One thing China has in enormous quantities is people, and what is sacrificing a few thousand (or so) to further their leadership’s agenda? It is all for the greater “good.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that they had to know that any disruption in supply would make them lose market share and give the opportunity to other countries to cut into their manufacturing base. I just posted a little more about this in the Economy thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote May 10, 2018 at 4:32 p.m. EDT 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. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/05/10/top-white-house-official-in-charge-of-pandemic-response-exits-abruptly/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You (and others) see things in black and white and have no idea if there was nuance or negotiating involved in the proposed budget.
