Ironically, the CDC and its leadership have come under intense scrutiny over the mishandling of Duncan’s care and the Ebola transmissions that resulted from it. However, had the same lawmakers who are now deriding the CDC listened to pleas for more support and warnings of the consequences of poor funding over the past several years, perhaps the US would not be in the situation in which it finds itself today.
讽刺的是，疾控中心及其领导人由于对邓肯救护失措以及由此导致的病毒传播已经在接受严格的审查。但如果现在嘲笑疾控中心的立法者过去几年注意到CDC的求助和资金不足的后果警示，也许今天美国就不会发生这样的事件。
