@therealroseanne -- A real problem: COVID-19 in China became a regional emergency 31-December-2019. Then national 21-January-2020.
In America the federal system (from 1955) had been deactivated in 2018.
Foreign Policy got off this extended objection:

The system we lost in 2018 would have responded automatically:
-- Border quarantine
-- National Tracking Corps
-- EMT enhancements
-- Antiviral/antibiotic support
-- Positive pressure PPE for hospitals
Also liaison positions manned to serve National Guard and the Agencies.

This Eisenhower-to-2018 system came over in a barebones version. Then enhancements were added in just about every Administration.
And each renaming was billed as a ground-up reinvention.
Today in Asia that's 144 deaths-per-million.
For the US: under 50,000 COVID-19 deaths.

Think Tank work in USA omits the critical tasks you see in the "Seven Pillars" outline.
What you get is budget grabs.
Here's one of the worst. They spend $ 1 billion. Pretend it's original. For nothing critical.

Even Michael Lewis fell for the local invention stories.
In "The Premonition," he has George Bush initiate the first pandemic planning in 2005.
That's silly.
He misses Asia altogether.

Everything Lewis's "Wolverines" wanted had already been built. And more.
They didn't know that because they didn't have the security clearances or White House NSC contacts for access.
Piecemeal training, sure.
3,000+ pages of planning docs were sealed off like nuclear codes.

After the Foreign Policy article, January 2020, corporate media dropped all mention.
John Bolton put out a tale that the firings and deleting the files was a re-organization.

Not to belabor the future.
SARS-1, avian flu, swine flu, MERS, Ebola, Zika. All of these pandemics preceded SARS-2 COVID-19 in the 21st century.
Count = 7 in 21 years
MERS and Ebola kill heavily. A no-vaccine septicemic SARS COVID could kill half the planet's warmbloods.
