1. Yay! They recognize the need for actual science!
:woohoo:

It would be nice if our own CDC hadn't become a political shop, and wasn't handcuffed so often.

It's great news that there will be more testing labs. Let's hope we see more labs getting set up for testing imported and domestic food and and consumer products too. That would be nice.

The republicans created this sense that we're all invulnerable to anything, unless a corporation can profit from selling us fear of it. So government has been getting out of the business of caring and checking and testing as much as the republicans could scream and make it happen. :(

I really hope this is a first step in reversing that. It's a shame it is taking an international flu outbreak to scare them into doing it.
