Should our country have a plan? regarding the next pandemic and other future ones?

Nah ...let's wing it

We had a department and ways to deal with this from Obama but trump disbanded it.

What do you mean. They have future plans. This was a plan. And everything is going according to the plan

In Ca. USA we are very much utilizing the same precautions, just able to go outside away from others. Many restaurants still are only doing take out. I was a sanitizer freak before the pandemic so already a habit.

I think we do need to plan for the future, it needs to be as intrusive and complied with regardless of the complaints of people who mostly complain regardless. The more intrusive the sooner we can go back to normal living with much less fatality or just miserable sickness.

The American people represent the most selfish, arrogant, ignorant, self absorbed, deluded, not to mention wasteful society to have ever tainted this planet. The very notion that Americans could be capable of devising, implementing, and actually participating in a plan for the good of the entire country is preposterous.
