    People are not flying or sailing or transporting gnoods from one country to another. Business in most of the modern world is slowed dramatically, the stock market is responding accordingly. The vast majority of our companies are only marginally profitable at best prior to the virus so any kind of slow down will hurt.

    Stopping people from traveling to the US is racist.

    Whoever told you your opinion was evidence or proof was blowing smoke up your skirt. Any sane, rational person can see that at the current time, this president is setting new records in accomplishments, in everything except making you happy. Funny, this "vast network" is not something we hear about. He didn't invent the CDC or WHO, and the ebola virus is mostly history. On the other hand the Corona virus is right now, and Trump is moving quickly to both control the spread and fast-track efforts to beat it.

    It's on the news, unless of course you only watch hater news. They never report good thing, so you wouldn't have a clue.

    You should stop your whining and start reading. Look at the number of cases in America, look at other high travel countries. The US is doing an extraordinary job of containment. You should also look into the program you are whining about. It keeps our people HERE, where they belong. It doesn't end their jobs or their research, they are simply on hand in this country, not being the world's doctors and babysitters. I'm coming to believe you folks want a full blown epidemic here, just so you have something to use against Trump and push for some nonsense like national health care...

    Understand, these people believe that only the federal government can save us from (x), and thus, any cuts to the federal government prove they don't care about us.

    Trump's move to end that stupid Obama program means all those doctors/scientists are now here, not in random foreign countries that have nothing to do with the origins of corona virus. Imagine that...

    I guess, he should start yelling and screaming the end of the world because of this....maybe.....

    sorry, no....no need to create a panic, when it's not even close to necessary

    let me know when this goes on for three years like the ebola virus crisis...that Biden apparently was in charge of during the Obama admin

    The CDC has all the funding it needs to do it's job. Throwing money at the CDC does not cure anything, since they have all the funding the need. Throwing more money at them only results in waste and abuse.

    The CDC could start by spending their funding wisely.

    At The CDC: Spending That Could Make You Ill - CBS News
    Our report tonight on wasteful spending at the Centers for Disease Control should come with a public health alert: "Warning: viewing this story on how the CDC is spending your tax dollars might make you sick."With CDC asking taxpayers for a billion dollars more to be added to its $10 billion budget, some in Congress are asking tough questions about the agency's spending choices. Senator Tom Coburn, who oversees CDC funding, has produced a detailed investigative report with maddening examples of apparently extravagant spending.

    Why Does Congress Shower The CDC With Money Despite A Track Record Of Waste and Mission Failure
    It’s no secret that taxpayer money is wasted by funding projects and programs that are absolutely ridiculous.

    Wasteful spending at the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control was recently exposed after Francis Collins, the head of NIH, blamed a lack of funding for the absence of an Ebola vaccine.

    Collins boldly stated, “Frankly, if we had not gone through our ten-year slide in research support, we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this that would’ve gone through clinical trials and would have been ready.”

    Despite Collins’ whining the truth is budgets for NIH and the CDC have grown significantly over the past ten years. The real problem with the CDC is not the budget total but how the money is spent.

    Wasteful Spending By Other Names - Forbes
    Cutting wasteful government spending would be much easier if it were properly labeled. But, wasteful expenditures are never properly categorized as duplicitous, unnecessary, or unwarranted spending.

    The mission creep pervading the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) illustrates this problem. Many parts of the CDC provide public goods that are invaluable – the education, research, and monitoring of the Zika virus exemplifies the important public services that the CDC provides. But, mission creep at the CDC has led to many activities that duplicate the work of other government institutes, administrations, and commissions.



    Etc...

    Especially since health care is the most rapidly growing industry in the US

    https://www.bls.gov/emp/tables/industries-fast-grow-decline-employment.htm

    But whatever, if the CDC does not get billions of dollars right now, we will all die. Cuz..... as the left keeps preaching - only government can save us.

    This is a new, previously unknown virus. It is not a new form of influenza. There is no virus, none whatsoever. Because of China's secrecy, the smart people are just now learning how this virus operates in our bodies. Smart people are stocking up on masks and latex gloves before they run out, and plenty of antibacterial gels and sprays.

    Read the links I provided in the OP. We wouldn't need a coordinated network of public health organizations if Trump had not dismantled and defunded what was created under Obama. He has loaded key positions with ass-kissers who are every bit as incompetent as he is. Very few people remain who know what the eff they're doing. Those who have been forced out or left are taking extreme precautions for their own families. I'm doing the same.

    Trump cares about the markets, not our lives. He cares about economic issues in an election year, since he has ZERO to brag about otherwise.

    WTF are you talking about? The only people being stopped are those coming from infected areas like China. What does race have to do with it?

    Sheesh, but you Trumpsters will believe anything he says and go along with anything he does. That isn't politics ... that isn't even hero worship ... that's afreaking CULT.

    Please name those accomplishments for me, since you think me so uninformed. And please don't include the economy ... he doesn't get the credit for allowing the previous administration's policies to continue. Come on, give me a list with a link to proof of each wonderful Trump deed.

    :bored:

    Oh, and btw, don't include the wall, either. So far, 99 miles of existing fencing has been repaired or replaced, and a grand total of one mile of new fencing added. Note that it's fencing, not a wall

    Well, when a link it titled "Trump Has Sabotaged America’s Coronavirus Response" it sure as hell looks like an biased political opinion piece. People are justly skeptical and many won't bother with reading an opinion piece which looks so biased. Sorry, but that's a fact.

    I tried reading the first link in your OP and was hit with a paywall wanting me to fork over $15.99 to finish it

    So as for the other two, hell with them, if you cant even screen your own links WTF should I be bothered to screen them for you ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯
