I'm glad they go into DEFCON 1 when there's measles on the loose. I'm worried they'll be told to back off by the President because of "fake news" or some shit and then it'll turn into a crisis of epic mismanagement.

Remember when China bungled SARS? That's what the US will do if there's an outbreak now.

It's like the only person standing between the president and a total catastrophe is a temporary appointee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Schuchat
