Don’t know why downvoted. This is true. The only special knowledge the Pentagon might have had is that “oh, specifically the corona type of viruses is particularly nasty because of the long symptom free incubation time”[1]. But people like Bill Gates, in addition to those disease prevention orgs, were shouting about pandemic risk from the rooftops. Could they have done more to encourage a robust countermeasure strategy? Sure. But so could tons of other orgs and they’re not special or particularly evil in this respect. [1] I probably have the terminology wrong there and welcome corrections, but I think I have the substance right.
