I know more than a little about this topic, Papabear!! I've been saying the same thing for a verrry long time.
Censoring the report of the CDC Director and cutting funding for research and surveillance programs (to fund the war ??) isn't going to help matters. Please don't be upset with your state and local health departments. You get what you pay for and we're letting our guard down here in the US and will become more vulnerable to the things that are more likely than terrorists to kill us or make us sick, like natural disasters and diseases. <_<
