To put that number in perspective, trillions! — 1000s of billions! The entire @NIH and CDC budgets are not even 50 of those billions each year. The infectious disease portion of the NIH’s budget (NIAID) is about 10%, or 5 of those 1000 billions.
With the ongoing loss of jobs/income, with society grinding to a halt, and the trillions of dollars to be pumped back into the economy, I can’t think of a more prescient and pertinent example of the pressing need for significantly higher funding for infectious disease research.

Mark your calendars, folks. The day comes back around Oct. 27!

@WillParchman If this happens, I can't believe the arrangement was for him to finish out the MLS season... especially with so many high quality friendlies for USMNT in 2018.
