[QUOTE="fishtm2001, post: 4446213, member: 54375"] As the current crisis has widened, President Trump has attempted to deflect responsibility for his administration’s poor planning, suggesting the coronavirus outbreak was inconceivable. “Nobody knew there would be a pandemic or epidemic of this proportion,” the president said Thursday. The opposite is true. The [Government Accountability Office], public health experts and others issued a steady drumbeat of warnings that America would sooner or later face a widespread infectious disease outbreak or a major bioterrorism attack and was woefully unprepared. In both 2018 and 2019, U.S. intelligence agencies issued insistent warnings in their annual Worldwide Threat Assessment. “We assess that the United States and the world will remain vulnerable to the next flu pandemic or large-scale outbreak of a contagious disease that could lead to massive rates of death and disability, severely affect the world economy, strain international resources, and increase calls on the United States for support,” the [URL='https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/2019-ATA-SFR---SSCI.pdf']2019 report noted[/URL].
