“This is what we’ve been waiting for is for them to send their landing team here and set up shop,” an official told CNN on Tuesday, also responding with a “yes!” when they were asked if CDC leadership was feeling more enthusiastic lately.

We’re all CDC today.

No doubt they’re ready for change. Just think of all us private-sector citizens who have been barely holding on for the last 4 years.

Now think of all the good public sector workers in regular, low profile jobs who had no control over the direction of their agencies.

How relieved they all must be.

You mean do actual “disease control”?

What a weird concept…

Fox News is happy … they get to beat on Obama again over Biden’s nominees.

Old times, good times.

Cretins …

So maybe we won’t have to wait after all. Remember, no backsies.

First person to throw out the door is that loose-lipped quack,
Doctor Shills-a-lot and his idiotic no-mask herd ‘mentality’.

The doors are now open. We are going to see a lot of this over the interim.

I would suggest the trump lovers in proximity lay low and look for a new job. Your coworkers are likely in a murderous mood. Imagine all the secret spilling that is going to happen.

This will be fun.

Yes, I’m sure they are eager. The problem is that is 2 months away and guaranteed thousands more will be dead and too sick to recover.

Dr. Redfield should be graciously thanked and then put out to pasture.

I feel the same way. He had no backbone to stand up for what was right. He let his integrity go to shit to appease a tyrant and remain in his good standing at the expense of the truth. There’s no room in the next administration for that kind of wussiness. He tried…but he also failed when the stakes were high and more times than we should allow him to forget.

It feels irresponsible to report on this. Trump’s just going to want to clean house. If we could all hold our breath for 8 weeks and not talk about government employees being excited for the upgrade, I don’t expect it would harm anything behind the scenes.

Caught the tail end of this live. It was low key, but thrilling in its way as well.
