White House submits $1.25 billion emergency request as part of $2.5 billion coronavirus effort

"To this point, no agency has been inhibited in response efforts due to resources or authorities," Russell Vought, the acting director at the Office of Management and Budget, wrote in the letter to lawmakers requesting the funds."However, much is still unknown about the virus and the disease it causes." February 24 coronavirus newsIn total, Vought wrote, the administration expects"to allocate at least $2.5 billion in total resources" for the response effort.

"House Appropriations Chairwoman Nita Lowey, a New York Democrat, expressed similar sentiments, calling the funding request"woefully insufficient" and bashing the administration for taking"weeks" to make it.

BioScienceinfo We need test kits! How can we stop the spread when we don't know who is infected. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if there already thousands of U.S. flu cases that swapped negative but had Coronavirus.

Just ask for money to pocket it. This administration is a financial criminal enterprise.

This would already be funded if Trump hadn’t cut the dept. at CDC and continually cut their funding. Maybe he can quit building a border wall and spend that funding on something we really need.

Wonder what their really going to usethat money for

But ... but ... but ... DJT said it was 100% contained in the US and it isn't a problems, and the markets are good, see? WakeUp

Take it out of the goddamn wall money.

hmmm, after trump fired the entire govt. pandemic response team in 2018 and never replaced them.

And that's why in my travels I stopped at every army maybe Store in America........... and EYE bought everything

Donald Trump as a plane, but you have to reverse his plan....... You can not believe me if you do not want to.......... But I didn't say he was gonna steal popcorn I said he was gonna commit treason and lie lie lie lie lie it's documented.......

Still less money than a wall.

WAIT KING TRUMP STOPPED THE CDC RIPPING ITS FUNDING NOW ITS EMERGANCY? LAUGHS

Coronavirus is a very urgent global issue and the number of individuals exposed or infected could be over 300,000. White House efforts to boost the total funds to $2.5 million is absolutely needed. Professor Isagholian

“Having hollowed out senior leadership of so many departments of the government — especially in the scientific community —(Trump) is now in desperate need of professional guidance among people he has abused for three years.

I bet they’re just trying to divert it towards the wall. They’ll claim migrants carry COVID-19.

Maybe they can use those $$ to rehire the entire department of experts on this that Trump fired in 2018.

Kinda like building a dam LONG after the flood has begun...

Is that from Trump's golf budget? Or the military's?

Imagine if coronavirus was started in Mexico, there would be not one great wall but TWO great great walls!

The Gemini is always 12 steps ahead of you guys........... How do you think TD jakes got all that money and put Deion Sanders in a Box house........... And his kids are struggling now,........ If Deion Sanders kids were all born in August he would not be living in a Box hous..

Nothing is too much for this virus...I know some countries that its leaders might steal the money and leave the people to suffer 🤔🤔...I like this huge step taken by the White House

I guess it’s time to put his wall money to proper use.

So after cuts does this really bolster the budget? By how much? Seems gearing up after cutting is more difficult.

The Gemini has tricked you guys once again............ Donald Trump is gonna put 99% of that money in his pocket............. U guys better wake the buck up and listen to would zodiac is spitting.... He let that shittttt get in to America......& they are gonna give him that money

Let Bloomberg pay for it. Why not?

All a con job to pocket money or help Trump’s donors or to even funnel money to the ineffective “wall”

No more golf trips

Schumer was just bitching about this. He will be devastated to hear the good news.

God Bless President realDonaldTrump !

How are we going to pay for it?
