They’re talking about the 2021 budget, not critical personnel leaving and cuts to especially international aid intended to fight pandemics.

Didn't Congress just authorize a bunch of money, more than Trump requested?

Curious, did China actually coordinate with the CDC before the coronavirus? It has refused help from CDC since the outbreak was revealed. China acts as if it alone will handle its health problem, without our "interference."

And if the gains hold it will be a first, even without the coming daily increases in corona virus diagnosis’s and deaths.
Don’t worry just go out to eat and support the economy, the twenty something working for a little over minimum wage with no health insurance just bought some OTC flu cure and came to work. He couldn’t afford the $3K to get tested without insurance anyways.
It probably won’t kill him or maybe you but plenty of saintly mothers will die.
Nothing to worry about

Just spoke to a friend who picked his daughter up after she returned from Milan Saturday. Said there was no one to meet them at the airport and check their temp. or do anything. He said people were just walking off the plane, grabbing their luggage and getting taxis into Manhattan. He and his daughter are going to self quarantine for 2 weeks. Said he called up the state department to find out if he should self quarantine and they said they are prohibited from saying anything because no directive has come down from above.

Fortunately, the daughter will likely live.
Scary situations coming up for many in the coming weeks. My youngest had a school trip planned to China that was called off weeks ago. The Chinese say they feel like they have turned a corner of sorts but there is a lot of uncertainty. My wife was in China in December and her younger brother was there in January. Planes are about to become Petri dishes.

Does that guilt trip work on your kids, because it certainly doesn't work on me...

What was that saying from Scrooge, something about decreasing the surplus population.

I don’t care if you are motivated by guilt but thinking we don’t have a problem because we have low numbers is incorrect.
Italy's numbers are high in great part because the Italians are doing a good job testing their people fast, accurately, and for free.

America's numbers seem low not because US is exempt, but because US is testing late, slow, and expensive

Hey Bitchslappedboy, the only one saying we have no problem is you. Now you decide Italy is doing a great job despite having a widespread caseload of the virus. Thanks for proving what many here suspect.

Dingleberry You're not a critical thinker, are you?
Italy is doing a great job of testing.
We are not and have no clue of what the actual caseload is.

Here's what happens if you are in the Seattle area, of course it is purely anecdotal and based on one person's experience.

I live in Seattle, I have all symptoms of COVID-19 and have a history of chronic bronchitis.

Since I work in a physical therapy clinic with many 65+ patients and those with chronic illnesses, I decided to be responsible and go to get tested. This is how that went.

I called the Corona hotline, was on hold for 40 minutes and gave up.

So I looked at the CDC and Washington public health websites. They told me to see a primary care doctor, but there's no information about testing.

I called 2 primary care doctors. One told me they don't know where to get testing, and that I should not to seek out testing. The other one told me to go to an urgent care or ER.

I called the Urgent Care, they also had no idea where tests are, but told me to call the hospital.

I called the hospital. They do not have tests, but transferred me to the COVID-19 hotline to "answer my questions". Since I was transferred on a medical provider line, I actually got through. Progress!

The lady with the hotline was very kind and professional and understood my concern about my own health and those at my clinic. (Which is currently being sanitized). However, I was told I do not qualify for testing. And I was not given a timeline or info on current resources.

So. Who does qualify? Those who have been out of the country in the last 14 days, and those who have had contact with one of the few people who have been tested and come up positive. That's it.

The only way I can get treated is if my symptoms get so bad I develop pneumonia or bronchitis, which is very likely in my case. Then I'll be in the ER and quarantined for several days while waiting for a test and for the results to come back.

This is all incredibly frustrating because I am trying to do everything right in a system that punishes moments of "weakness" like taking days off.

It's also scary to know that I won't be able to get help until I need life support.

To sum up: this is not contained. No one knows what the #^&#^&#^&#^& is happening. I can't work. WASH YOUR #^&#^&#^&#^&ING HANDS.

And remember how the Administration solved it.

Patient: "So, it looks like I have coronavirus now. What should I do?"

Doctor: "Don't worry about it. The federal reserve cut rates by 50 basis points. You'll be fine."

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

9 deaths in Washington

Washington has 27 cases confirmed

WHO says death rate from Coronavirus is 3.4%

There could easily be over 250 undiagnosed people in Washington today and the dispersal is geometric.

Community spread is not fake news.

2 diagnosed cases each in Mass and Rhody to date.

Singapore has about the only program that seems to contain it, but I doubt that it could or would work here for a number of reasons. But they are capable of explaining what Coronavirus is and what you can do about it for your own and the people you care about's safety and that is what their health minister does quite well in this video.

Bitchslappedboy,have you already determined that if and when the US
is dealt a heavy hand of corona that it is the fault of Trump? We all know it is bad and extremely contagious as well as deadly. The United States is the 3rd most visited county in the world. Italy,number 5. Take a look around, perhaps Spain has maple syrup.
P.S. don’t spout off about “Italian health care” being the standard for the world,or even the US when you obviously have no clue. See how long it takes the ambulance to get you after getting run over in Rome...pack a lunch.
You are not as intelligent as I thought. More like the rantings of a madman.

Don’t worry your man is on top of it, or is he? Just wait for him to throw Pence under the bus when the Coronavirus numbers start climbing.
The surest way to not get results is don’t test
Meanwhile the clown is busy being a vengeful victim

This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn’t have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt. Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins!
