When el presidente Odumba, the magnificient, declared a national emergency over
"As of mid-March 2010, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that about 59 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus, 265,000 were hospitalized as a result, and 12,000 died"
"On October 24, President Obama declared the 2009 H1N1 swine flu a national emergency."
After more than 1,000 people died tinker bell, whose shit doesn't smell, declared an emergency.
This is a political disease.
There will be lots of fallout.
Cable companies will be hurt.
The NBA might as well pack up and move to China and be house negroes. The National Basketball Association to the Chinese Basketball Association. The NBA sorry I mean the CBA will criticize the US to the nth degree, but will not speak not a peep about China. So yeah house negroes.
What are the chance the CBA will play again in China before the US?
The sports leagues and others are doing their part to crash the economy.
Look I'm republican leaning and you're right. .but let's not make this political. Republicans are different in that way and let's keep it like that
anons: it was political when Trump cut cut cut and left us sans what is needed and then failed to show leadership and the market reacted and then kept telling us that all under control and then demanded that nothing be said without white house approval and looked like scared moron on tv and now after an intervention (yes. google) will again go on tv.
our states are taking over because of federal failure. and yes: that is political...oh, today also blamed Obama!
this is not political?
Trump Falsely Tries to Tie Obama to C.D.C.’s ‘Inadequate’ Testing System
Ur all going to get it fools
This virus is madness people fuck martial law
Got your guns out we the militia
Its getting personal people fight back
Soon there will be no internet
CDC got cut or was going to get cut in 2009. You know what they were cutting. It had nothing to do with diseases. They wanted to cut NIOSH. NIOSH has nothing to do with pandemic disease response like flu.
Trump cut the response team in the NSC. You know who headed up the team? A naval aviator not a scientist.
Quit your bellyaching 2:11. You do not know what you are talking about. You never do.
The death toll to date, does not bear out your handwringing. 75+% are from nursing homes. 75% are form 1 single nursing home. No one under 50 dead in the US.
Can't leave the county and your house
This means war people
G for president, gop ticket
The president introduced his fiscal year 2021 budget proposal on Feb. 10, just 11 days after the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concerns. The spending plan included a 16 percent reduction in CDC funding from the 2020 spending levels.
In fact, all of Trump’s budget proposals have called for cuts to CDC funding, but Congress has intervened each time by passing spending bills with year-over-year increases for the CDC that Trump then signed into law.
Funding for what? You are saying there is no pork in the USG?
Be more specific.
Try again.
Try to be honest.
"There were also technical issues with the test kits in which they tested for more than just the coronavirus, and the glitch affected the integrity of the kit."

Come on 3:24, you are fighting hard like a cornered bitch. Tell us what the glitch was.
Put on your big boy pants or put on your big girl dress like Chelsea Manning, because that is how liberals roll now.
- Tell us about the glitch. Some of us know about manufacturing and testing.
- Tell us about the supply chain.
- tell us about the bad chemicals and where they came from? China?
What the fuck did Obama do except outsource it there?
Perhaps the batch was made bad by China?
Come on bitch. Say something except repeat NYT talking point.
Remember it it was Mara Gay who showed that she had no concept about how to add, subtract, multiply, or divide and she is on the New York Times editorial board. So you keep repeating the NYT. Those assholes will skirt the truth only to use it as the kernel for a lie.
very classy remarks above. Do not read the NY Times. Hannity says this virus nonexistent. go out and mingle now at your dive bar
3:44
As classy as you deserve.
You are not able or willing to talk alpha or beta risk with tests. You are not able to talk about throughput yield of chemicals/ test reagents. You are not able or willing to talk about where these reagents came from. If they came from a Koch Brothers factory, we would have heard about it already. You would be breathless and hoarse.
As The Washington Post explains, those funding cuts target the CDC’s chronic disease activities:
The budget request would trim funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by almost 16 percent. HHS officials said they want the CDC to focus on its core mission of preventing and controlling infectious diseases and on other emerging public health issues, such as opioid abuse.
Officials propose to take the money that would normally go to fund individual disease prevention activities and funnel it into a single block grant to states. The budget says chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes have common risk factors, and thus consolidating funds “can help magnify the public health impact.”
Although the budget reduces overall funding for global health, from $571 million to $532 million in 2021, officials carved out an extra $50 million for global health security, which are measures aimed at disease detection and emergencies. That bump comes at the expense of international HIV/AIDS programs, which is being cut by about $58 million.

Last I checked Trump was cutting the budget of chronic diseases not infectious diseases.
Here is a hint NYT slurping Anon. Corona flu is an infectious disease.
So an y budget cuts to chronic disease part of the CDC would not hurt the infectious disease response.
I know. You are a bitch and did not get into the weeds but merely parroted what you were told to parrot by the NYT TPM like a good little foot soldier.
You are so easily led, you ought to get a nose ring to make it even easier for a journalist to lead down the low road easier IRL.
Trump is simply not a leadere. The public knows it. He lies, corrects, misleads, changes direction and then stumbles....Unable to read the notes prepared for him...now you can tell us that so and so does not know what you imply you know, but the general public is wise and know that he is not leading this nation as it ought to be led
so call me names nonstop. You are emotionally lacking and show it in your display of How-Much-I know and if you do not know this then you are wrong. Nope.

Trump turns fire on Obama-Biden swine flu response, defends coronavirus handling Find
Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday vowed to press ahead with an emergency package to address the coronavirus epidemic — the product of days of intense negotiation with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin — even as President Donald Trump blasted the bill, accusing Democrats of "not doing what's right for the country."
The House is expected to vote Friday afternoon on a multi-billion dollar package drafted by Democrats, which would guarantee access to food, affordable testing and paid time off for people whose lives are disrupted by the virus. But it's unclear how many Republicans, if any, will back the bill without Trump's support.
