RE:RE:Testing.....Long way to go@Candy, the sad truth is, unfortunately, governments worldwide tend to prefer funding responses than invest in long-term mitigation measures.
For having responded to a number of emergency responses - including Indian Ocean 2004 Tsunami, Haiti 2010 earthquake (both of which caused 200,000+ casualties in a flash) and few Cat 4/5 hurricanes/typhoons - the cycle normally goes 1) response 2) global good will to invest in mitigation (initially well funded but then goes on the wayside) and 3) another emergency happening, with systems having been neglected in the meantime... An example is Canada's pandemic surveillance wherein <Ottawa silenced GPHIN, Canada’s highly regarded international alert system for outbreaks, in early 2019, before COVID-19 swept the world> ( https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-what-happened-with-canadas-pandemic-alert-system-the-gphin/ )
Therefore, you can be sure that the international community will mobilize resources over the years to come but will, eventually, only have it as an afterthought - once the next high profile global event will have taken media attention (i.e. war, major terrorist attack (9/11-like), global economic crisis etc).
Sounds fatalistic but, unfortunately, realistic.
My two cents
