Veterans of past disease outbreaks have said the downsizing of staff at the NSC's Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense — a unit sometimes referred to as the White House pandemic office — in 2018 was likely to hamper the U.S. government's response to the coronavirus.Why would you assume that? People who get in positions like that are bureaucrats - not thinkers and doers. What makes you think there was any actual scientific expertise there at all?
