    If… sorry, I mean WHEN this is used as a benchmark for future pandemics, we’re going to really be in trouble. I love how there was no mention of why initial findings and spread wasn’t controlled very well compared to past outbreaks of other diseases thanks to cuts by President Trump to a pandemic early warning program (Predict) in 2018 which finally ceased three months before the COVID news. Why would he cut such an effective tool, one that was initiated by a Republican (G.W. Bush). Oh, right…it was actually started in 2009 by Obama, so yet another vengeful move with no regard to why things exist.
