Surprising lack of preparedness - is it not ?

  1. Hi guys,

    Shouldn't a pandemic preparedness be part of defense strategy ? If so, how is it that there seems to be such a lack or preparedness.

    Further, the pandemic preparedness should be financed from defense budget. Similar to how cyber security and communications are part of defense budgets.

    There should be a defensive bio-security branch as well - with an army of medical professionals and equipment and medical manufacturers, infrastructure etc. to deal with a pandemic, considering the impact on the economy and life and other impacts of this, wonder why it is not a full branch as of now.

    What do you guys think ?

    Has there been a country yet that was prepared?

    Obama was taking The US in that direction with his pandemic response team but Trump dismantled it.
