Tyler Cowen | | Since 2006, Congress has allocated millions of dollars to preparations
for an influenza pandemic. While preparation for a pandemic has
improved somewhat, such preparation needs to occur in ways that are
politically sustainable and remain useful even if a pandemic does not
occur. First, Americans need to accept that we can’t “stop” a pandemic;
we can only lessen its effects. Second, we need to acknowledge in our
policies that the best response to such disasters is a decentralized
one. | |
