Public health professionals of Reddit how unprepared are we for the next pandemic?

Not necessarily a professional but someone who has taken a big interest in the topic, very.

Chances are that the pandemic will have already spread too much to be easily controlled before its even possible to enact countermeasures. The only real way to prepare for it is just to pre-emptively act, but well we all saw what happened when Covid hit and we did see it all going down.

The issue isnt with preparation, but actually coming together to make it work.
