So, not a whole lot. And, the people freaking out would most likely be republicans anyway… so all I’m hearing is “republicans are at fault”
When isn't an easily foreseeable disaster not the republicans fault?
The fact that Texas (where the first cases were reported) and many other states think infectious diseases should be political talking points to argue about is what's dumb to me. The CDC was created to be an organization separate from party bullshit. The CDC should study such outside of the executive branch. Then again most organizations created by congress should exist outside of the executive branches jurisdiction, because as we've learned from how stupid we are here in America, if the executive branch has a say in it, then they will turn people against each other for populist reasons whether or not they are good for the population.
Well, the media is to blame here. They love to stoke that fire.
Which they need to do in order to create capital to stay afloat. Blame money
