Abstract
A Legislative Blueprint for the Next Pandemic.
Highlights
Perhaps the most troubling facet of the white paper is its conclusion that “many of the challenges Congress has worked to address during the last 20 years still remain.”[1,2] As such, this conclusion was based on a meticulous review of past efforts of the federal government to prepare for a future pandemic.[1,2] The inescapable take-home message is that decades of federal planning for a future pandemic fell short of the mark
The 5 recommendations made by the white paper were based on “lessons learned from COVID-19 and the past twenty years of pandemic planning.”[1,2] All of the 5 priority foci are viewed as constituting a starting point for further conversation and deliberation
The fourth recommendation touts the improvement of the public health response capacity at the state and local levels
Summary
The third recommendation urges the rebuilding and maintenance of federal and state stockpiles and the improvement of the medical supply surge capacity and distribution. The fourth recommendation touts the improvement of the public health response capacity at the state and local levels.
