Ebola is dangerous, so much so that we have a program that helps countries at risk get ready to contain it when it breaks out. That's cheaper, safer, and way better than trying to deal with it when it gets here.
So naturally the Trump crowd wants to stop doing it.
As luck would have it, that same day, there was a new outbreak of Ebola in the Congo, the DRC.
"That timing couldn’t be worse.
“The entire global health community would agree that cutting funding is a bad idea,” Rebecca Katz, an associate professor and co-director of Georgetown University’s Center for Global Health Science and Security, told The Daily Beast. “An outbreak anywhere can be everywhere within a matter of days. Viruses do not respect political boundaries, which means we have a collective risk and a collective responsibility to prevent, detect, and respond.”
This is a wake up call, people. You don't have a president, what you have is Russian Roulette. Which is more than a little ironic, all things considered.
