But then something happened to them...I don't quite remember... I mean their job was to work with China and the WHO and other countries and international organizations specifically to plan for and mitigate possible pandemics. I think they were called something like the Global Pandemic Response Team or something like that? They were there to make sure that efforts at containment in the origin country held up and it wouldn't necessarily spread to us. I think they were also an early warning system to help us be prepared. Something happened in 2018 though, can't quite put my finger on it...

OH YEAH. YOU ASSHOLES FIRED THEM. Trump bragged about firing them cause he didn't like people just standing around. Yeah idiots, they weren't just standing around, they were calculating and gaming out scenarios JUST LIKE THE ONE WE ARE IN NOW!

Real leaders lead. They take responsibility for outcomes and for decisions they make. Cowards and criminals blame others.
