The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

The dems are playing political games with coronavirus funding. It looks like they don't think 2.5 billion is enough but want to give the administration 8.5 billion. It's obvious that it's a ploy to make it appear as if Trump doesn't care about it. The administration can always go back for more funding if 2.5 billion is not enough. Also, this kind of grandstanding will have short term affects on the stock market. Asswipes.

Russia closes its border with China early on in the outbreak.  2 cases, both Chinese citizens, both recovered.

 

Italy implements no border restrictions.  12 deaths and counting, 300+ cases.

 

Borders work.

Plus, I'd like to see the funding actually goes to what its alotted for, unlike for instance Katrina

where corrupt people were just money snatching.

Ah, "doctor" Gu. He was fired from his residency for sucking at medicine, sexually assaulted his girlfriend, and beat his wife.

 

Buy hey, he spends all of his time trolling Trump on Twitter since he's not allowed to practice medicine anywhere, so liberals love him!

Pence is a steady hand and that’s what’s needed here. President Trump did the right thing making him point person.

 

We need an experienced administrator for a large undertaking as this (not an MD), who will not be leaking to the media

 

 

.

He was also smart to make it bi-partisan. 75% of the people up there on stage (CDC bureaucrats etc) are Dems and Hillary voters.

 

Trump is standing aside and letting the bureaucrats speak.

His past scares for Pence.  

 

n late 2014, health officials belatedly became aware of an HIV outbreak in Scott County, Indiana. With fewer than 24,000 people, this rural county rarely saw a single new case in a year, according to The New York Times. But by the time government agencies tried to stop the transmission of the virus a few months later, some 215 people had tested positive.

One man seemed responsible for needlessly letting the situation get out of control: Indiana’s then-Governor Mike Pence. In 2015, when the virus was seeming to rapidly move through networks of people who use intravenous drugs, even the reluctant local sheriff encouraged the governor to authorize a clean-needle exchange, a proven tool to reduce such an outbreak.

But, as the Times reported when he became Donald Trump’s running mate, “Mr. Pence, a steadfast conservative, was morally opposed to needle exchanges on the grounds that they supported drug abuse.” His opposition was based on an incorrect belief; while research has long shown that needle exchanges do reduce HIV and hepatitis, it has also shown that they do not encourage drug use.

Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana and Donald Trump's running mate, is nobody’s idea of a moderate. This is, after all, the guy who signed a bill into law mandating funerals for aborted fetuses and who compared the Supreme Court’s ruling on Obamacare to the 9/11 attacks.

But perhaps his most dangerous stance has to do with tobacco. In a 2000 op-ed, posted on his personal webpage and unearthed by BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski, Pence brazenly declared, “Smoking does not kill”:

Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer. This is not to say that smoking is good for you... news flash: smoking is not good for you. If you are reading this article through the blue haze of cigarette smoke you should quit.

This paragraph is a veritable maze of contradictions. First, Pence asserts that smoking doesn’t kill. To back this up, he bafflingly concedes that a huge fraction of smokers — one in three! — die from smoking-related illnesses, a fact that a casual observer could be forgiven for interpreting as proof that smoking does, in fact, kill, and kills a lot of people at that. (Only one problem: Subsequent research has found that two out of three smokers die from a smoking-related illness — not one in three, as Pence insisted.)

“This is not to say that smoking is good for you.... news flash: smoking is not good for you,” Pence adds. But wait — I thought smoking didn’t kill? If smoking has other, nonlethal health outcomes, Pence does not mention them in this piece. He proceeds, instead, to argue that the evils of tobacco do not compare in scale to the evils of big government.

I joined Vox as one of our first three employees in February 2014, and have been here ever since, writing about everything from furries to foreign aid. Right now I'm particularly interested in global development, anti-poverty efforts in the US and abroad, factory farming and animal welfare, and conflicts about the right way to do philanthropy.

 

 

 

Yeah, I'm going to listen to these two, writing for the Nation and Vox, and 4 year old stories

 

Which he couldn't wait to tweet out.

 

Weak-azz sh*t

 

Pence will do a great job..........................which will no doubt be criticized 24/7 in our media.
