    My understanding is the CDC activated an emergency response at its lowest level which given the current status probably makes sense. And most of the folks I know are trying not to panic because they're traumatized from 2020. So some people are taking things seriously

    I get the point of this, but also don't know why the author expects Trump to give a fuck given that he didn't in 2020 either, or change anything. They're not likely to "un-cut" the funding or do more.

    I don't know, I guess I'd care more about this if it were a factual scientific article not an opinion essay with the frame of "those people shouldn't do this, we should care more" when "we" care and "they" don't. May just be my mood today. Maybe I'm just tired of being considered "we" with our administration. But like yeah, I don't want RFK Jr in charge of public health when it's cold and flu season, much less when there's an epidemiological crisis.
