We weren't ready for the last one, thanks to the same President.
Actually, I'll go further and say Covid was worse because of him, maybe even existed as a pandemic because of him. Great job.

Oh it 100% was worse and probably wouldn't have been a big issue with anyone other than Trump.
The Obama admin CDC had literally created a pandemic guide because they were worried something like COVID could happen. The Trump admin threw it out solely because it was created under Obama.
Correct, and initially started by GWB after reading about the potential of pandemics and asking his advisors if it was plausible. Something Trump would NEVER do.
His body count is going to be in the millions at the end of this.
Just like his heroes.
Considering COVID, it likely already is.
We aren't even ready for measles anymore
Maybe we shouldn’t have pandemics anymore
That's it, they're all cancelled!
US wasn't ready for the last pandemic, it was one guy in China, remember?
And then he got elected again because of Sleepy Joe and now he sleeps at events.
Grand Pappy Nurgle is very pleased with this news.
We weren't even ready for the last one when we still had all the experts and agencies working on handling it. This is a huge "no shit, Sherlock" statement.
The thing people need to do is stop and spend more than 5 minutes trying to realize that the next will be much sooner than another 100 years.
Then realize that people did spend a hundred years getting ready it's just that no one listened. The 1913 pandemic went scary similar to 2019.
Good. The leopards will be very well fed. Sane countries just have to seal the borders FAST when the next pandemic hits U.S..
Not likely for Canada. It's a long border.
