Agree on the actual threat and the overreaction.
I thought Trump gave a great answer to the CDC cuts in his presser (by the way, the CDC is a very big organization, and cuts in one area can be completely unrelated to this issue).
Trump said, “I’m a business man. We have hired those people back already along with more. But I don’t see the point of paying them when we are not using them and don’t need them”.
I agree with this. The functionality of research labs do require the main researchers and assistants, but there are many who are not needed until the volume of work is there for them.
PS - I was in the Bahamas from Feb 8-15. - were you nearby?
