An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Demand funding for infectious disease research and reform the pandemic team!

186 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

The case of cruise ship Hanta virus has been confirmed to be a rare form of human to human transmission. There are already two confirmed cases being treated in Atlanta. However, world news reports are stating that there were other exposures that debarked the ship before the discovery of the disease- and those cases are the real patients zero. Since it can take eight weeks for this particular strain to become symptomatic, it is possible that the United States has already been widely exposed. Trump and his secretary of health have already destroyed the CDC, private virus research projects, vaccine research projects, and our involvement in the World Health Organization. So, WE THE PEOPLE would like to know what the game plan is to combat the possible exposure and spread of yet another deadly disease on Trump’s watch. Demand a resurgence of funding for medical research and renew the pandemic prevention team!
