[Tearing down America's pandemic response infrastructure
In 2018, the [Sleezebag] administration ousted Rear Adm. Tim Ziemer, who served as the Senior Director of Global Health Security. Ziemer was a member of the National Security Council, where he was responsible for coordinating "responses to global health emergencies and potential pandemics." Ziemer was lauded as "one of the most quietly effective leaders in public health." His work on Malaria during the Obama administration helped save 6 million lives.
"Admiral Ziemer’s departure is deeply alarming," Congressman Ami Bera (D-CA) said in May 2018. "Expertise like his is critical in avoiding large outbreaks." Beth Cameron, who served on the National Security Council in the Obama administration, said that Ziemer's ouster was “a major loss for health security, biodefense, and pandemic preparedness” and noted that it "is unclear in his absence who at the White House would be in charge of a pandemic.]

It goes on to blame John Bolton, etc.

I assume someone took over this position since 2018?

[Buster's Uncle]

No.

That's the point; during the Ebola business, Bakrama found out there was no one actually in charge of the CDC-type stuff in an emergency.  He set up a chain of command, mostly in national security positions, a bad epidemic being arguably that.  Pig dismantled the entire public health emergency pecking order ASAP.

Pig has probably been exposed to 19 Crows at least twice in publicly-known contacts with infected persons; VP Pence at least once.  Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is next in line for the presidency, and I'll say no more for fear of professional dealings with the Secret Service.

Sadly, the president is so anti-Obama that he would gleefully remove a program that Obama initiated, or a person whom Obama hired, without pausing to understand why they were there in the first place.

The president is supposed to appear here in a week. There's about a 50% chance he has the virus because of the people he's been in contact with. I wonder if he is going to spread it here, and if that will affect his chances of re-election.

[Geo]

"Mr. president, could we have your temperature checked please?"

[Rusty Edge]

He's in a dilemma. He wants to get re-elected. As long as he is president, he can't be prosecuted. New York state likely has some charges ready to file against him along the lines of money laundering and tax fraud, because his accountant became a cooperating witness about 2 years ago.

BUT, this corona virus is a threat to the economy and therefore his presidency. So I'm sure that he is stressed out. Political rallies where he gets all of that public adulation are his favorite therapy. Even though he fears getting sick, he needs the rallies.

I heard today that [Sleezebag]'s event here has been postponed. Then I remembered that yesterday the Democratic mayor  banned all meetings over 250 people. My guess is he didn't consult [Sleezebag].

I suppose the lockdown also affects the Democrats caucus for the presidency candidate's run-up?

[Buster's Uncle]

That better be the very last thing they touch, or people ain't just gonna die of getting sick.   

[Geo]

What? Riots for a non-compulsory ballot?

[Buster's Uncle]

I was expressing the PROFOUND frustration those of us not on the right have had building up since Reagan, especially since 2000, what with two lost-the-popular-vote Republican presidents in a row and a stolen Supreme Court seat.  Many see democracy suffering a death of a thousand cuts already.

Canceling elections in the emergency, any shenanigans at all to do with that -it being clear that nothing's beneath the Pig- I think a lot of people will snap, and riots and violence, yes.

[Geo]

I wasn't talking about the presidency elections next November, but the Democrats internal ballot for their candidate.
Even if say the next 2 months all State ballots are suspended due to the pandemic, I'm sure the party leadership will come up with something.

[Buster's Uncle]

The party leadership would love to cancel any chance for Biden to screw up, sure, and it was actually brought up before the 19 Crows took over all conversation, yes.

-And let me say that that would end very badly for the collaborator party leadership, if not instantly, pretty soon.  There's a debate tomorrow night, and Bernie BETTER get his last shot, no excuses.

We're pretty frustrated with those jokers, too, 'cause they can't be bothered to fight back against the KKKlown Party, lo these last 20 years.
