Compound it - Trump has proposed defunding the CDC for the past several years, including *this month* right in the middle of the Coronavirus epidemic. 

If you catch the Wuhan flu and you can’t afford medical care, make sure you find a place that’s full of rich people and cough and spit all over them.

The performance of the stock market is more important to the president (and his self-perceived odds of reelection) than the deaths—potential or actual—of tens of thousands of Americans.

Respectfully, you’re talking about the lady who once called for “blood and teeth” to be knocked out on the Senate floor rather than accept a toothless Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Yeah, she’s someone I’d like to have a beer with; she honestly sounds like a hoot in person. But I’m primarily supporting her…

So, thoughts and prayers...?

And keep in mind I am by all definitions a “fiscal conservative”; without even considering the human costs (which today’s conservative fuckers don’t care about),

I want the GOP beaten and legislation signed.

I’m a Black woman and I voted for her. I know several others who did or will also.

Which is insane, but not as insane as letting it get that bad in the first place. I live in this region, and even our clueless small town newspaper was…

Doesn’t Klobuchar already breathe fire?

Yo, massieb:

In the face of a scary virus, the US leadership leans hard capitalism:

Put alla these fuckers on Hot Ones. I demand to see Buttigieg and Klobuchar try to take down millions of scoville units worth of wings.

How this plays out is going to be completely determined by how well individuals, and local and state governments prepare. I predict the morons at the federal level will only react by providing the resources needed AFTER it has become a major crisis at the nation level, and then they will fuck that up too.
