The Department of Health and Human Services, the parent of the CDC, should be making these briefings.

This DHS mess is frankly crap.

What do you mean? That they should be making the briefings?
Because if so where are they?
Over here it is the equivalent of Jacqui Smith keep making the briefings and updates, which would really be weird.

Yes...aren't they trying to get gosh...what is her name...begins with an "S" assigned to be the head of that department?

The politickin' ain't over yet.

A family member works for DHS and told me this am that "it's in their laps" mostly because of the original bio-terrorism thought.

They'll muck it up no matter who is at the helm.
