Pandemics have happened before and will happen again. The problems we are facing are a direct result of our Own failure as nation to properly prepare for the inevitable pandemic. It is not the failure of any one politician or political party. There is more than enough blame for everyone at all levels of government for generations gone by. Since pandemics occur infrequently, we collectively chose to ignore the known risk. We are now paying the price for our collective failures to prepare.

I actually agree with the gist of your post ... no one is ever fully prepared and plenty of bipartisan blame to go around. Human nature is ... don't really worry about it until the s*** hits the fan so to speak. Pandemics have indeed happened before, and will again.
The one key difference is, as far as can tell, this is the first one that's ever traced back to a bioweapons lab.
