@Blondily I am afraid that the country did not apparently, learn Fr m the most stakes. The anti-science, anti- public health sentiments will.not be easy to overcome. I am.retired, so.no longer directly involved, but from m what I hear, there is no.ongoing effort to plan for the next pandemic. I do not want to be "chicken little," but there are several infectious diseases around the world f steering which could break out and no one knows what emerging infectious disease could strike. Br ng unprepared already proved to be the death of over a million US citizens.
@Blondily yes, but I am speaking more about a systemic approach to planning. We developed very careful.plans before 2010 to deal with the threat then of a flu pandemic, that never hit. Both in NJ in 2011 and then nationally in 2017, those plans were scrapped. To my knowledge, no one has started redoing any planning.
