" the mortality rate of this particular virus is lower than the usual flu season." Where you getting your information?

No need to worry as Trump says it will be OK once the weather gets warm.

From Sen Murphy...."

• President Obama created a permanent “Pandemic Preparedness and Response Directorate” inside the National Security Council in 2015, led by a Deputy National Security Adviser-level appointee with direct access to the President as needed, to oversee ongoing work to prepare for future infectious disease threats, and to coordinate a response when such threats arrive; and
• In July of 2018, Trump disbanded this unit, and Admiral Ziemer was reassigned to USAID. As a result, there has been no special unit at the NSC to oversee preparedness for epidemics, or the current response.
