The CBS news magazine program 60 Minutes broadcast this segment yesterday, 12 April about the Covid-19 pandemic and the lack of preparedness in the USA; unfortunately, the video of the segment is posted only on CBS's home site and is not available in areas outside the US...
The segment caused a bit of a dust up with White House Adviser Peter Navarro who demanded CBS produce any 60 Minutes segments from the past that foreshadowed a pandemic such as we are seeing now and that called for advanced preparedness; it did not go well for Navarro and his position...
(Please note, starting at 1:48 into the video, the replay of the actual archived 60 Minutes segments begins and their year of original broadcast appears in the upper left corner of the clip):
This is the original, full 60 Minutes segment from 2005, as aired; Dr. Fauci's appearance in the segment starts at 11:24 into the clip:
The idea that no one knew or could anticipate something like the current pandemic has pretty much been blown out of the water; the question is, given how very badly the current situation has been handled, what can be done to correct the gross errors that caused the present crisis?...
Whatever the answer may be, it certainly can't be a return to the present ineptitude, incompetence, and ignorance that led us to this point...
A bit more of 'Past Is Prologue' from 2009...
