Mike Pence will manage the crisis in the United States
Donal Trump said yesterday that the risk of infection in the United States remains “very low”, an opinion contrary to that of his own experts. Vice President Mike Pence has been appointed to manage the crisis. He encouraged people with HIV to pray for recovery from an opioid crisis in Indiana, is a creationist who expresses doubts about the theory of evolution and wrote an editorial in 2000 claiming that the consumption of tobacco does not kill . Trump himself in 2014 pointed out that he had “no medical experience” and “no experience with infectious disease control”.
Obama just appointed an Ebola Czar with zero experience in the medical area and zero experience in infectious disease control. A TOTAL JOKE!
