Big - I'm sorry but this is a prime example of bureaucrats bureaucratizing. "We wrote a plan. What good boys are we." Never mind that the plan doesn't cover anything that is actually needed in a pandemic. What we need for a plan is something that says who does what with what resources.

Government can do good in many circumstances. It won WWII. It won the Cold War. It built the Interstate Highway System. But it also screws a lot of things up. Ever heard of Vietnam? I lived that one.

I'm perfectly capable of being convinced when they do something right. But this "pandemic plan" is not one of those cases.

Let me throw a question back at you. What guidance in that plan would have been useful in actually responding?
