McNadoMDUsed to be, if you had someone with a weird infection your local lab couldn’t sort out, you could send samples to CDC for testing. Now those labs are “pausing” testing. So anyway, Republicans are trying to kill you.
Fishercat@mcnado Yeah, they are. Do you think there are academic labs that might be able to ramp up and fulfill some of those functions?
@Fishercat unlikely. There are some state labs, but they are in states that have been targeted by Trump’s funding cuts, and often at least partially rely on federal grants. It’s a clusterfuck.
