Well I guess the USA wasn’t well prepared for a pandemic then, given how abysmally it dealt with Covid. A one size fits all plan has to be adapted to suit an individual viruses behaviour anyway. The Plan would be fairly useless for an Ebola outbreak, for example. Also, are you suggesting that most of the expert epidemiologists and virologists globally wer speaking out of their exit holes?

The reason why western countries did so much worse than Sweden is that Sweden followed the Pandemic Preparedness Plans in place for decades, written by public health experts with integrity, based on decades and 100s of years of evidence, while Western officials and the public fell for mass hysteria against of all the evidence present and past.
Mass psychosis + Medical Industrial Complex messaging guaranteeing transfer of wealth from poor to wealthy.
I don’t agree. Sweden adopted a different approach to neighbouring Norway. At the end of it all, Sweden took a virtually equal hit to its economy, yet about 10 times as many people died compared to Norway. Sweden’s government epidemiologist even admitted at the end that he made the wrong call. Other western countries like Australia followed vigorous lockdowns and used appropriate govt relief to support businesses. It certainly had consequences but its economy recovered better than the USA and its covid mortality was a fraction of that in the USA.

It was all a damned disgrace.

Not all pandemics are the same.
