EXCLUSIVE: White House national security officials prepared a “pandemic playbook” — a step-by-step guide to ensure testing, check on workers’ equipment, even consider the Defense Production Act.

The Trump administration ignored it. politico.com/news/2020/03/2… with @nahaltoosi
The playbook was initially devised in 2016 and overseen by career officials in the now-disbanded pandemic preparedness directorate.

The goal: to avoid a chaotic government response to the next public health threat.
The White House playbook obtained by @nahaltoosi + me urges leaders to consider key questions, like do health workers have enough PPE?

Based on recommended timeline, these questions should’ve been asked + answered more than 2 months ago. Meanwhile, health workers beg #GetMePPE.
We’ve now uploaded the full White House pandemic playbook, color-coded rubrics and all. documentcloud.org/documents/6819…
