re: #294 Obdicut

How are you divining that, exactly? You don’t think any of the General Reduction would affect the Infectious Diseases program?

Exactly. If we don’t know where the bulk of the cuts will come from, then it seems difficult to be outraged…yet. I’d have been more in favor of just requesting some sort of general reduction and letting the CDC decide how best to reallocate. What will we say if the CDC decides to reduce ID funding by an additional $150MM because they think it’s the most effective way to meet the new budget…is that also a ‘fuck the poor’ moment?
