In Uncontrolled Spread, he shows how the coronavirus and its variants were able to trounce America’s pandemic preparations, and he outlines the steps that must be taken to protect against the next outbreak. As the pandemic unfolded, Gottlieb was in regular contact with all the key players in Congress, the Trump administration, and the drug and diagnostic industries. He provides an inside account of how level after level of American government crumbled as the COVID-19 crisis advanced.
A system-wide failure across government institutions left the nation blind to the threat, and unable to mount an effective response. We’d prepared for the wrong virus. We failed to identify the contagion early enough and became overly reliant on costly and sometimes divisive tactics that couldn’t fully slow the spread. We never considered asymptomatic transmission and we assumed people would follow public health guidance. Key bureaucracies like the CDC were hidebound and outmatched. Weak political leadership aggravated these woes. We didn’t view a public health disaster as a threat to our national security.
Many of the woes sprung from the CDC, which has very little real-time reporting capability to inform us of Covid’s twists and turns or assess our defenses. The agency lacked an operational capacity and mindset to mobilize the kind of national response that was needed. To guard against future pandemic risks, we must remake the CDC and properly equip it to better confront crises. We must also get our intelligence services more engaged in the global public health mission, to gather information and uncover emerging risks before they hit our shores so we can head them off. For this role, our clandestine agencies have tools and capabilities that the CDC lacks.
Uncontrolled Spread argues we must fix our systems and prepare for a deadlier coronavirus variant, a flu pandemic, or whatever else nature — or those wishing us harm — may threaten us with. Gottlieb outlines policies and investments that are essential to prepare the United States and the world for future threats.

I don’t think I could manage another pandemonium, tvm; not unless they move the neighbouring nation a million miles away.
Once every few centuries seems like a credible chronological compromise.

Can’t be fixed.
No “free” nation would ever cede enough control to any science based institution to effectively manage something like this, none. You have to do that to prevent the political quagmire. Democracies are messy and too much time is wasted debating.

Blind faith in your government may sometimes get you killed…
Stay armed my friends.

We could try not wetting our pants and getting in with life, that might work.

And if you want to read what a China specialist in the US believes how the virus was developed and why the Chinese have been collecting DNA samples from all over the world for years, see this article from a reputable magazine:

Over 4 and a half million dead around the world, but I’m sure it’s all a conspiracy solely for the purposes of making Americans wear face-masks and social distance for a while. Pure tyranny.

Doc don’t get it, but he lives in a collapsing society in it’s late/last stage.
I’m not the least bit surprised. It’ll get worse because more novel infectious diseases are coming & some old favourites will return as we do everything possible to speed along antibiotic resistance as we try and squeeze those last few dollars from industrial civilization before it all comes crashing down on our heads (as predicted & ignored).
Good luck dealing with run away climate change & a stripped bare & toxic biosphere without that protective buffer industrial society provides.
Just this June, about 2 hr from my place in Canada the record for highest temp ever recorded in Canada was set 3 days in a row bing boom bang - 49.5C = 121F. How many of you Americans have dealt with 121 F temps? You cannot escape global warming by running away to Canada like so many think they can.

How can he be certain that he lives “in a collapsing society in it’s late/last stage?” Merely because it’s been “predicted & ignored” by the esteemed Mr Notre Dames?
Isn’t like that like the quote from the movie, El Cid, where an orator stentoriously addresses the “People of the Middle Ages!” - a logical/temporal impossibility?
Speaking of the Middle Ages, what about that ever-so-awkward Little Climatic Optimum event? Sans industrial whatnot? Vineyards in northern Europe, and so forth?

*That’s ever my problem, too many “likes” dontcha no.

Why is it talking about a next one, isn’t it still killing people over there?

Irrational lockdown regulations, biased media, corporate profit, selective science is what caused and is causing the real harm.
Kudo’s to our incredible, adaptive immune system.
