      It’s entirely avoidable, if only Trump would have actually learned something from his first term and actually funded research and prevention teams. Sadly, he only has the foresight to see how cutting those programs saves the US Govt. a penny now, and not the wisdom to see how that panny would have been money well spent if it prevented us from having to spend thousands on recovery efforts.

        But they made so much money stealing PPE last time! Probably some good extortion money, too.

        Huge bonus if they get to hold a cure over people’s heads, too.
