I agree that’s definitely true going forward, but has fucking with the CDC etc. for – jeezus, it’s only been three weeks – had time to have a material effect on the bird flu epidemiological trajectory yet?
Yeah, but this is more about implementation of policy changes affecting the Rt of the virus, lag between the rate changing and the detection of that change in terms of actual measurements of the number of infections, etc. Even if Trump deliberately appointed somebody to send out an edict that poultry farms create the ideal conditions for the virus to spread as quickly as possible, there’s still some lag for that appointment to happen, for the edict to be communicated to the farmers, for them to implement it, and then even under those ideal conditions the virus still can reproduce only so fast.
You’re absolutely right, it would take way longer if they told them to create the ideal conditions to spread the disease. They did slightly something slightly different though, they said “we no longer care about this regulation” which gets people to start fucking things up quite a bit faster than “change the way you do this for this new regulation”
You’re not wrong that they’re probably isn’t a measurable a difference yet, but I guarantee that it’s coming and it’s going to come hard
I mean. He is also taunting the NIH, CDC, and WHO. That’s gotta account for something, right?
He does have some control there. I’m sure bird flu containment would be a bit better handled without kneecapping the CDC.

As someone who has been around OSHA, it usually only takes 20 minute after they disappear before things start changing for the worse
