With avian flu on the rise, you want international exchange of information. This is beyond idiotic.
Withdrawing US funding from the World Health Organization is a potential disaster for public health worldwide, due to the impact it will have on the important work the WHO does. Preventing the CDC from even *talking* with WHO personnel is a step much farther toward undermining global health & safety
CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal
U.S. public health officials have been told to stop working with the World Health Organization, effective immediately. The surprise decision is focused on the U.S.

Dr. Fauci is an incredible person and doctor.
Dr Fauci treated a US health care worker infected w Ebola in Sierra Leone.
"Even when you have optimum facilities-the disease itself is truly devastating."

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Don’t let the Mickey Mouse ears fool you. Ebola is a lethal virus causing hemorrhagic fever. The Zaire Ebola can have a mortality rate as high as 90%. Fascinating virus, but deadly.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)
