Agency Leading Ebola Response Has Had Budget Cut Nearly $600 Million Since 2010
Where are the Canuk and Coryn when the chips are down
WASHINGTON -- The lead agency tasked with responding to the threat of Ebola both within the United States and abroad has seen its budget drop dramatically in the past four years.
In breaking the news on Tuesday that the first Ebola patient had been diagnosed in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention assured Americans that it had adequate resources to combat the virus. The public health care system in America is dramatically more advanced than those in West Africa, currently the site of the largest Ebola outbreak in history. And as far as pathogens go, Ebola's ability to spread is limited. It can only be transferred through the exchange of bodily fluids.
