Key officials responsible for leading US research on infectious disease threats have been barred from speaking directly with the World Health Organization effectively shutting some of them out of the global discussions on virus outbreaks, CNN reports.
The Trump administration issued the directive stopping individuals at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from communicating with the WHO.

(8,022 posts)Unfortunately, you live within a dystopia long enough and you do and feel just enough to survive. I think we're all on the edge of, or fully ensconced in, that dystopia now. Between the country and personal issues, there's nothing left but to survive. At least, after these last few months, I can't find it.

(4,861 posts)would give Trump a reason to rant against allowing people with dark skin to enter the country. Its the only campaign strategy they have, and it is effective with the MAGA base. Wait for it
