    • Abstract:
      Nuzzo thinks that practice drills for infectious disease crises are crucial for pandemic prevention. In January 2020, news outlets around the world reported a disease outbreak in China caused by a new pathogen. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, for example, health officials in many states collected information from hospitals but were not required to send the disease data to the federal government. Inglesby says better federal authority to get information on infectious-disease outbreaks from US states should be a high priority. [Extracted from the article]
