Who says it's lying? Modern Western world has never had a pandemic in the current globally connected world.
Recommendations try to take everything in to account.
It's easy now to say: just wear masks. But then, there was even a global shortage of masks for health professionals.
- bkor 6y agoThe UK did a study a few years ago on the most important threat. The #1 spot (on importance) was a pandemic and would have way more impact than the #2 threat. The report suggested various things, including e.g. masks, etc. The report was ignored. In US there's been many warnings to subsidize a strategic PPE supply and production. This was ignored. Early on (COVID-19) a US mask producer asked officials to provide money to expand production. This was ignored. It wasn't just easy to predict, it was predicted various times.
