The response to COVID has been mainly a power grab by leftists in government. Combatting the pandemic was a secondary consideration. The COVID power grab is not over yet and recovering previous liberties may be difficult. I expect more power grabbing the next time a serious epidemic pops up.
Why would democrats want to get it right? They were able to do massive
Voter ballot mail fraud.
Take care of sick people who request medical help.
Don’t punish healthy people.
It’s not hard.
The days of “getting it right” are over. Western civilization has decided to self-destruct. That is what it is hell-bent upon doing.
Not with our inept, incompetent and corrupt government.
Anyone here see the new aqua tourquois unisex vests Wal-Mart is requiring its employees to wear?
“To date, the saving grace has been that bird flu does not readily spread to humans.”
I’m sure that Fauci has a lab somewhere working on that.
Here’s the next crisis warming up in the bullpen right before the midterm elections - isn’t that convenient.
Any legitimate response to an epidemiological event will have to come from individuals who are somehow able to function independent of the government, the healthcare industry, the tech sector, and the scientific community.
RE: The Next Pandemic - Can We Get It Right This Time?
I think if you were able to talk to the leadership in most western countries, you would find that they “Got It Right”.
Through fear, they were able to move from democratic societies to dictatorships in less than a year.
Now these same despots are ginning up fears of atomic war to continue their reign(s).
Depends on what the definition of “right” is. There is a significant number, as Rush used to say, mind numbed robots that still think the last two years was done right.
If the hospitals don’t kill patients for government bounties, it would help.
The bird flu outbreak is the worst since 2015, when nearly 50 million birds, mostly turkeys and egg-laying chickens in the U.S. Midwest, were killed.

Got a long ways to go to reach 2015 losses. Hopefully AG biosecurity has improved. I know Tyson has made their chicken farmers swap out the chicken houses to a newer design. It's about testing, data and tracking at this point and I would think Tyson and others, being for profit companies, will do better than fedgov did with covid.
It was a plandemic, a bureaucrat-created disaster.
No more plandemics.
Any attempt to impose one will be considered a crime against humanity and will be dealt with accordingly.
The reason H5N1 does not spread easily between people is that it has not acquired the ability to be transmitted by aerosol or in respiratory droplets like the flu or COVID-19. >>> Just wait till Fauci and his crew in China get finished splicing that furin cleavage to the bird flu.
