Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.
The shutdown doesn’t give them any extra power to fire people, in fact one could argue there’s less.

More and more does it look like we are going to need a huge general strike with everyone refusing to work for about 2 months. It may cause a lot of people to go homeless if anyone can enforce evictions and many may starve. But the immediate move for companies while the markets crash into the Trumppression would have to be for billionaires to try to forcibly move their companies over seas in attempts to save anything they have left.
The alternative is 100 years of massive viral/bacterial spreads that wipe us out in essential plagues while wealth disparity forces large swaths of the country into slavery.
I really hope it doesn’t come to either… but that’s what this administration is forcing the population into.
Edit: Note earlier this year this administration already made massive cuts to NOISH, some of which were reversed, which is the administration that under/in the CDC that pushes research to OSHA to help ensure the health and safety of workers.
