'Flammable' and 'inflammable' both describe something that ignites easily and burns quickly.

The ‘in-’ in ‘inflammable’ means “to cause to be,” as in the words ‘indent’ and ‘indebted.’

So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.

It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.

Warning signs are everywhere.
