There is some controversy about that. He could of handled Indiana's HIV outbreak response better. Let's hope he learned from it.

Try getting your information from someone other than Rush Limbaugh. Trump cut $700,000,000.00 from the CDC’s budget and is now scrambling to find funding for corona virus response.

I met a microbiologist last week who said the best way to avoid contagious diseases is to wash your hands with soap and water. She also noted that anti-bacterial lotions and gels that have alcohol as an ingredient will cause small splits in your skin where the germs can penetrate. And, we both agreed that gardening without gloves will boost your immune system.

I know where Johnson has been, I don't know where all the hands touching that warm wet breeding ground for germs and bacteria have been. No touch faucets of course is different matter. Keep some wet naps with you, skip the sink with handles.

It's not just the CDC, we also have this place: National Institutes of Health



The CDC has wasted so much funding in the past, they still have more than enough to do their job.

Why not just do the same thing we do to address mass shootings and things like that?

Pray.

Too bad the ground is a bit tough to dig into during the flu season. Besides, gardening without gloves will definitely cause cuts and abrasions; more so than alcohol based anti-bacterial lotions.
