George W. Bush in 2005: 'If we wait for a pandemic to appear, it will be too late to prepare'

Is there anyone Derpy Donny hasn't foolishly ignored at this point?

The article outlined the program which Bush implemented, but it's kind of vague on its explanation as to why it wasn't continued.

The effort was intense over the ensuing three years, including exercises where cabinet officials gamed out their responses, but it was not sustained. Large swaths of the ambitious plan were either not fully realized or entirely shelved as other priorities and crises took hold.

Bush set out to spend $7 billion building out his plan. His cabinet secretaries urged their staffs to take preparations seriously. The government launched a website, www.pandemicflu.gov, that is still in use today. But as time passed, it became increasingly difficult to justify the continued funding, staffing and attention, Bossert said.

"You need to have annual budget commitment. You need to have institutions that can survive any one administration. And you need to have leadership experience," Bossert said. "All three of those can be effected by our wonderful and unique form of government in which you transfer power every four years."

I reckon Governor Andrew Cuomo's prayers to our chosen leader Donald J. Trump have been answered. The 10,000 military medical personal Commander-in-Chief Donald J.Trump sent to New York where they've supplied extra life saving medical equipment and hospital facilities might have reduced the number of Covid-19 infected persons as well as fewer Covid-19 related deaths. "The number of Covid-19 infections and Covid-19 related deaths in New York, the epicentre of the US coronavirus outbreak, is dropping for the first time, officials say."
