[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Ebola outbreak in Kampala, but unfortunately our program is frozen and we can’t help stop it. We also do some of that evil family planning and gender work, so unlikely the project will survive.

Does anyone remember the Ebola scare? We can prevent that. Or we could have, last week.[/quote]

Does anyone remember when the Ebola outbreak was very widespread in Africa and we had patients coming to the US that were infected and then spread to other US healthcare workers?

That’s only one of many reasons why we fund public health abroad - because you can’t stop illnesses at the US border.

Withdrawing from WHO is a huge mistake. [/quote]

The U.S. has been — had an American century of health innovation and public health that has led the world, has advanced, doubled human life expectancy.

And this work, putting it aside, shutting it down, seeing now that there are — there have been layoffs and dismissals, more than 1,000 staff have been sent home, many of them fired in the last 48 hours, that process is still under way and is a major concern.
