Uncontrolled Spread

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb does a retrospective of the COVID-19 response by the United States. Lessons learned by this pandemic show that our political leaders view the world in rose tinted glasses, eternal optimists, instead of the DEFCON diplomacy game that it actually is. At worst every country should be prepared to go at it alone, but also to tell the truth and forthcoming about their shortcomings. Simply put, the US system does not have the tools to overcome the next pandemic at this moment. I recommend this book to inspire change in how our leaders should think about our health, a National Security and Economic doomsday scenario if things go south. We cannot risk foreign adversaries or nature to cripple the current U.S hegemony.
