Also, rumors are swirling that Israeli scientists are close to producing a vaccine. Apparently, they were working on a cure for a different illness and used a similar strain of coronavirus as a model to test their technology. Would be awesome if true.

Yes, I think it's hilarious that this potential pandemic is being turned into political fodder by those on the right who just can't get their panties un-bunched about Americans not wanting their white picket fence.

FYI...I would say a large majority of the panic and political pandering was started and is still being perpetrated by the left political leadership and their sheep.

If there is a hell, these people are going to it. What a bizarre time in our country. Gotta wonder what would happen if we had a terrorist attack on US soil, God forbid.
To be fair, Rush (the Medal of Freedom winner and leader of rational thought) has been accusing the head of the CDC as a member of the deep state.

Isn't something like that the opening of most zombie movies?

The CDC funding does not "remain slashed." You are reading the lies of the Left. It's true that Trump asked for cuts, but he did not get them. The CDC funding increased in the last budget.
So not only did Trump try to cut the CDC funding, he failed at doing it.

Good luck with that!
Good luck for us that we have a President who thinks like StroudCrowd1.
Trump is already contemplating using emergency powers to ramp up production of protective gear in the US.
3M and Honeywell could get federal dollars to kickstart domestic production.

I think they were actually working on a vaccine that would abolish the Palestinian population and came to realize that the same mixture also kills the Caronavirus.

Two sides, indeed.

“…This is what I meant yesterday when I said, “The media is weaponizing this story against Donald Trump.” I did not say, as it has been reported, that the deep state created the virus to weaponize it against Trump — and yet that’s what BuzzFeed is reporting. BuzzFeed is reporting that I said the deep state created the virus to weaponize it against Trump. I got nowhere near saying that. I don’t believe that. I know this virus came from Wuhan, China. I do not…
I never associated the deep state with this at all. What I said was the media is taking the occasion of this virus and story to weaponize it and the reporting of it against Trump, much as they did the reporting of so-called Trump-Russia collusion. That is all I said. Now, BuzzFeed is lying through their teeth and purposely distorting this. Purposely. They know that’s not what I said, and then there was a guy at the press conference who asked the president about this.”
That's a decent walk-back from this:
"Dr. Nancy Messonnier of the Centers for Disease Control — which today warned it could be bad, it might be bad, don’t go to school and don’t go to work, stay home and teleconference — is the sister of the former deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein. Well... do what you want with it."

Soooooo more fake news, eh?
This whole thing has gotten me to think long and hard about my investments and what would happen if a catastrophic bio-attack ever actually did take place.
Been thinking about hiding my cash in cans in the desert like Cousin Eddie.

Short answer ... Yes.
Longer answer ... A president never gets everything he requests, especially (and unfortunately) as far as cuts are concerned.

I don't see the words "Deep State" in that quote. So the claim you originally made was a lie.
MBJ, I acknowledge that. Repeated what I heard before doing the research. Lazy on my part.
Counter question: What does being Rod Rosenstien's sister have to do with her credibility?

Because Rod Rosenstein isn't credible. Could be a DNA thing.
