they turned 9 senate seats in the elections.

limbaugh and sons scared the base and blamed obama and it worked. while they are certainly stupid enough to ignore the warnings from the experts there was evidence they were going to use the 2019 congo ebola event in the 2020 election to do the same again. but the WHO sttarted getting that under control and there was some success in treatment so.....

then came covid.

there is evidence out there somewhere for media to find that they were planning for 2020 ebola and may have shifted to the much more complicated and deadly covid. trump would be stupid enough to think they could pull it off.

The cacophony of bullshit from republicans about ebola stopped as soon as the midterms were over.

Obama handled the ebola situation brilliantly, yet we still got stuck with full republican control of Congress.

I miss President Obama so much!

Here’s a link to that speech at the NIH on December 2, 2014:
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/photos-and-video/video/2014/12/02/president-obama-speaks-fight-against-ebola

The 5-year remark was a little after the 16-minute mark of the video archive.

is that there is no way to predict the type of test to develop until the disease presents itself. Same thing with treatment and vaccines.
