I love Michael Lewis, and he’s back again reporting on the people who should have saved us from the COVID-19 pandemic. The people in government who were experts on communicable diseases and pandemics, who wrote the pandemic response plans, who tried warning about this sort of thing for nearly 15 years, and who, in the end, were thwarted by the bureaucratic waste that is the US government and the CDC. It’s a really well-written piece of journalism that is in the end very sad. We had the correct people in place, with the correct plans, who had advance warnings to contain and mitigate the pandemic, and at every turn, they were ignored or overruled.
