[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8166205, member: 19675"] I believe the word ”if” would be more accurate here. There [I]was[/I] a pandemic plan. It was not followed. Some leaders incited their followers to do the exact opposite of what medical experts advised. Where such advice was actually followed, better results followed. And the thing is, the recommendations for a flu epidemic are essentially identical to those for C19. I seriously doubt those who pooh-poohed things like masking, distancing and hygiene orders will be any more inclined to follow them for Pandemic 2: Electric Boogaloo. (In fairness, part of that is due to the fact that the 2009 swine flu pandemic was pretty mild.) Even if the current avian flu outbreak never reaches American shores, at some point, another serious flu (or coronavirus or something worse) pandemic WILL happen and WILL affect our citizenry. Then we’ll find out whether people have the wisdom to follow the advice of highly trained and educated medical professionals. [/QUOTE]
