I joined Governor Mike Parson and St. Louis County Executive Sam Page for a press conference announcing the first presumptive positive case of coronavirus in Missouri. Read more about that press conference here.
This week Vice President Pence briefed us on Capitol Hill on the Administration's ongoing Coronavirus response. I was able to ask the first question directly to the Vice President to see what the plan for the upcoming spring break is.
As a mother and a grandmother, I know how important it is that our children stay healthy when they go on trips and will be interacting with people from across the nation and the globe.
We learned more specific information about how citizens can get tested for coronavirus, and I am grateful to learn testing will be accessible at the state and local academic level, providing more direct testing for patients without a bureaucratic mess.
The experts at the FDA and the integrated task force have made clear the risk of contracting this virus remains low in the United States, but even in the wake of this good news, I encourage you to remain vigilant, follow all safety protocols, and continue to monitor the outbreak as our officials work to contain it.
I voted in favor of $7.8 billion in emergency funding to help our workers and government officials respond to the spread of the coronavirus. The bill passed in an extraordinarily bipartisan manner and will appropriate more than $4 billion to ensure that diagnostic tests are widely available, invest in the development and procurement of a vaccine, protect our medical supply chain, and treat coronavirus patients.
It will also give the CDC $2.2 billion to support robust state & local response efforts. For up-to-date info from the CDC on the outbreak and more information on safety protocols, click here.

It is special to see these GOP people scrambling to try and shore up an agency they were trying to gut for our dear orange person leading them. Seems that by now the ones in charge should be aware that it is better to spend now to predict and prepare ahead of problems versus trying to practice "catch up and hope" methods. If one were to look back several years ago they might find that epidemics like this is now the norm and should be discussed at length of "what if" versus "what now". If one looks even further back it is written that in the 50's the defense department did all possible scenarios of possible wars to be fully prepared "in case of".
We already knew the talibangelicals were both stupid and dangerous. Now we are faced with a crisis while many rapture believers hold positions of power in the Trump administration.
Intelligent people know you can't fix stupid when the stupid is caused by their education and life governing decisions being directed by their preachers and bibles. Remember that priority one for these people is doing what they think will get them to heaven when their expected rapture happens. If the disaster kills all those left behind- well that's the plan according to their interpretation of their bible!
Meantime their Mango Moron continues to babble about how his wall and xenophobic and racist border policies have prevented the epidemic that they are refusing to see or prevent.
Elections have consequences.
Republicans elected Trump.
History will show our Covid-19 ship was burned when the Republicans in the Senate immunized Trump by refusing to have a trial.
Every Trump voter betrayed the nation by putting these dipsh*ts in charge.
Don't blame me, I voted for the email lady!
