My standing statement is: The idea of a pandemic was so well established that Hollywood made multiple bad movies about the idea.

The other key piece that gets magically brushed aside is that there was a pandemic during the Obama administration. Obviously not as severe, but nonetheless a warning.

Yet we were somehow unprepared just a few years later? And those same incompetent entities and experts were the source of our inflation understanding and response to COVID?

I think not. Very little passes the smell test. It didn’t them. It’s even less so - if you look & listen - now.
