It has been three years since the first reported Covid-19 case in Wuhan, China, and more than 6.6 million people have died from this disease since. The United States has the highest number of Covid-19 deaths worldwide, with a sixth of the global toll. But despite this devastation, the U.S. may not be ready for the next pandemic: Experts say they can easily imagine a virus that is as infectious (if not more infectious) than the coronavirus but far more deadly. “If this was our test run, I think we mostly failed,” says Bob Wachter, chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
So, what went wrong? No one answer can explain everything, and Amy Acton, former director of the Ohio Department of Health, thinks the U.S. needs to establish a 9/11-style commission to study the pandemic response and improve preparedness going forward. With the country seemingly ready to move on, though, nobody can say when this commission will happen, if ever.
In this absence, we reached out to public health experts to distill six lessons we’ve learned from Covid-19 that could help us fight the next pandemic....
We need to rapidly scale up testing...
We need to leverage data more effectively...
We need to seek out a diversity of voices...
We need to continue making big bets on vaccines...
We need to actively crowd out bad information...
We need to infuse public health communication with vulnerability...

How about we start with FIRING every public health expert? Right now TODAY! These experts failed. Time to start fresh.
[[We need to actively crowd out bad information... ]]
They are so full, of crap- the only bad information we had was from them- for 2 years! That statement by them proves they fully intend to controll speech while they impose their agenda on the nation! They have no intention of “seeking a diversity of voices and opinions”, and they know it!
THey know what they did wrong! THey Imposed totally unnecessary requirements on The young and healthy! But, they will NEVER ad it that, ever!
We need to shoot resistors on sight?
If everybody would just start wearing masks everyday, then there won’t ever be a future pandemic
They will Never admit that I meant.
Except that most people who got covid did so while wearing masks because masks were required everywhere nearly.
Experts.
Handlers you mean.
Experts be damned.
Well, based on that list, they didn’t learn much at all.
Quarantine the sick and their contacts.
Step 1
IGNORE the self proclaimed experts before they kill you
Exactly. THey totally mishandled the pandemic, and they know it. They will however try to blame everyone else but themselves for destroying our economy and people’s lives for no reason.
ONE lesson! Don’t listen to the “leaders” and “X-spurts”!
We need to remove from executives at every level the unilateral power to decree “emergencies.”
There were "preventatives" out there, taking a little Vit. D3, Zinc, Magnesium regularly builds up your immune system to keep you healthy.
And there were "cures" out there. Ivermectin, L-Lysine, Hydroxychloroquine. YES THEY WORK!!
But for some reason the MSM worked with the CDC and the state health organizations in the US to block people from getting the info about those things and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES WERE LOST!
But thousands got rich off the vaccine stocks! - So SAD.
We need to accept natural immunity.
*Bring Out Your Dead PING*
They need six lessons on how to STFU
Victors always right the history. History is always perverted by the victors. In this case, those in control.
They will never conclude lessons learned that result in them having been wrong will they?
Two weeks to flatten the curve. Right. Once they had power they would not let it go.
It was no dream, it has been a nightmare and it continues.
Prior to CovidBS-19, every ‘person in authority’ or any ‘experts’ were already dead to me.
Somehow the Enemy Media and The Powers That Be dug them up and paraded them around again for a while.
But, to me? Still dead. Jerks.
