Coming To Your Neighborhood Soon: Pandemics

not surprising to me personally, but the laying to rest of the saints is still likely not quite yet???
the plagues will come tho!
war and troubles first!

The center of disease control has to support its own funding.

Saying that is one way of doing it.

'We've got this. We're on top of it' is not something they can ever say.

It's also a vigilant way to create a public perception. By convincing the public they are inevitable perhaps it puts them in a better position to fight it.

Some outbreaks of ebola in africa and zika in afrida were handled pretty well.

The press always paint things as a massive disaster. Thinking of nigeria, it was actually contained. There,from what ive read, are an increasing number of processes and dispersed knowledge of these diseases which did counter the spread.
380 million live in nigeria, in close proximity. So stopping ebola was perhaps some feat.

But its like tigers in the wild. You have to watch out for the one you haven't seen.
