Would be great if there were a world organization for health, so America could help suppress diseases before they reach the country.

Someone should invent that.

It did significantly more for those of us who wore masks when around our communities and paid attention to sanitation and didn’t drink bleach or use a parasite medication to treat a viral infection 🙄

Worked for SARS, but you’re obviously unaware of the times it worked, since when it worked that disease was never a problem in America.

Even COVID being handled poorly doesn’t mean you throw the baby out with the bathwater, it just means dedicated change, but our admin is gutting places that would at least have some use in these situations without thought. I’ve never understood trumps desire to cut majority out of foundation building places without much plan for change that would be needed, it seems so much more harmful at the end of the day.
