We should remind folks of the Obama Admin's efforts to create a playbook for pandemic response. I’ve noticed the lame MSM no longer does this, preferring to ask the stupid question of why we hadn't prepared, so “We, the people,” should (at every opportunity). 45 dismantled Obama, and Ron Klain’s, effort because of spite and hatred.
Ronald Klain, the White House Ebola response coordinator from October 2014 to February 2015, tweeted out a link to a document titled “Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.” The document, originally unearthed in March by Politico, is a 69-page National Security Council guidebook developed in 2016 with the goal of assisting leaders “in coordinating a complex U.S. Government response to a high-consequence emerging disease threat anywhere in the world.”
Since Obama also made the mistake of not prosecuting bankers, or VP Dick (which is what I think ignited this anger toward our govt being on the side of wealth and privilege), I would suggest avoiding defending the entire Obama presidency. Don’t get sucked into the comparison game while trying to point out that a plan was in place for dealing with pandemics. That is the point we should be making, in my humble opinion.
