Remember the Ebola outbreak in 2014?

2 people in America died.
9 recovered.
There were 11 cases total.

Here's what POTUS said then...
He was unserious, inflammatory, & divisive.

Today, with 31 Americans killed by #COVID19 and more than 1,000 Americans infected, we need him to be serious, honest, & unifying.

🤞

@GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump The labor market has strengths. Check out the trend in the number of U.S. jobs since 2000. The inherited job-creation trend that started in 2010 continues.
@GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump POTUS changed his talking point (green). The job growth trend (blue), not so much.
@GOPChairwoman @realDonaldTrump Job growth has slowed a bit.

The economy added 7.3 million jobs over the 39 months from the Nov 2016 election to Feb 2020, about equal to what we added over the same months to Feb 2019.

It's fewer new jobs than we added over those months to Feb of 2018, 2017, 2016, or 2015.

The unemployment rate for Americans without a high school degree stopped falling more than 2 years ago, after 7 years of improvement post-2010.

Their labor force participation rate stopped rising around then too.
The share Americans without a high school degree who are employed stopped rising 1-2 years ago, after rising for 5-6 years.
The unemployment rate for Americans with exactly a high school degree stopped falling about a year ago, per original post. But their employment share has been rising recently.

In advance of tonight's #SOTU, where POTUS will try to take credit for the state of the economy, check out the trend in the # of U.S. jobs (blue) and in POTUS's statements (green).

POTUS changed his talking point. The job growth trend, not so much.
#NoFool
Same story with unemployment rates. His talking point changed. The inherited trend, not so much.
POTUS will tell us about the # of jobs added since the 2016 election.

He will hide the fact that job growth has largely continued on the inherited trend, but slower.

About 60% of newly emerged & re-emerging pathogens share a common origin: #animals. When we cut down the forests where they live, they roost in our backyards & farms instead. #OneHealth @dirgarambe @mdkimhsdubai @Virologist_11

Press conference on #Ebola in #DRC & #COVID19 with @DrTedros pscp.tv/w/cRQ4DjI2MTAy…
@DrTedros 🚨 "The Emergency Committee on the #Ebola has advised that the outbreak in #DRC continues to be a public health emergency of international concern, and I have accepted that advice"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros "As I said yesterday, as long as there is a single case of #Ebola in an area as insecure & unstable as eastern #DRC, the potential remains for a much larger epidemic.

WHO’s risk assessment is that the risk of spread is high nationally & regionally & low globally"-@DrTedros

Today @DrTedros & Secretary-General @antonioguterres met Kavira Mwanamamba & a few other #Ebola patients who have conquered the disease and were leaving the Ebola Treatment Centre today. They will join the other 1,000 who have also conquered this disease.
UNSG @antonioguterres’s commitment to building a strong #PrimaryHealthCare system is so important to stopping diseases like #Ebola and managing others. A better health system means better #HealthForAll.
”Without the strong commitment and leadership of #DRC government and engagement of the community - we cannot end this #Ebola outbreak.
It’s important that we all work together to beat Ebola in DRC”-@DrTedros

Today the @WHO Emergency Committee recommended that I declare the #Ebola outbreak in #DRC a public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice. Now it's time for the international community to show solidarity with the people of DRC, not to isolate them.
I emphasize that @WHO does not recommend any restrictions on travel or trade, which rather than stopping #Ebola, can actually hamper the fight. We call on all countries, companies and individuals to support #DRC by respecting those recommendations.
A public health emergency of international concern is not for fundraising, it’s for preventing the spread of disease. @WHO is not aware of any donor that has withheld funding because the emergency had not been declared. But if that was the excuse, it can no longer be used.

#Ebola thread: Sorry this is so late; another disease demanded my attention. And the news here is so routinely awful I barely know where to start. This outbreak is really, really not going well.
Here's what I see:
2. @MinSanteRDC reports +14 cases today. This reporting week is 2 days old & there have already been 22 #Ebola cases. They also report 10 deaths, 7 of them community deaths. The people who looked after those dying patients will be cases themselves in the next week or 2. Fact.
3. So the outbreak totals are now 1168 cases & 741 deaths. After the West African outbreak (admitted still far, far bigger) I naively thought the world would never let an #Ebola outbreak get big again.
I was wrong.

At dinner, I learned more about corruption + racism built into society by our masters. A book we discussed (Zinn) was used as part of this "Left" resource's bibliography. I had to share. [A thread]

@BlackSocialists - thoughts on this resource?

historyisaweapon.com/indextrue.html
It very simply lays out the case that we are all being controlled. It covers hidden history of the United States including their (and, due to the systems created by our masters, our) racism.

If you haven't been in school for a while (or are in a terrible school), some of the words might trip you up. Dictionary.com and Wikipedia.org are two good resources to help you.
