I find this ridiculous. Hurricanes are acute events where an understood phenomenon occurs and people need to take shelter. (I expect someone can come up with a feigned misunderstanding claiming pandemics are equivalent) Early pandemic warnings and action make sense inside of public health organizations (and there are companies like BlueDot that offer intelligence on infectious diseases - they actually spotted Covid before it became what it did). Broadcasting some poorly understood "pandemic warnings" to the masses will just result in fear and eventually people completely ignoring them. Alarmism over potential disease outbreaks does not help. This is just people wanting to ride on covid's coattails and grab some power out of it.
