Duncan lied to board the plane & he lied during his first trip to the hospital.
While this post is excellent - I disagree with placing full responsibility on the hospital.
Duncan’s deceptiveness & lack of judgement placed everyone in harm’s way.
From that point on our lack of preparedness took over.
Duncan’s lies would have been irrelevant had the Klown not been a traitor.

While you are 100% correct about Duncan, any national preparedness plan that relies on all people doing the right thing at the right time is a fatally flawed plan. Our evident lack of preparedness goes right back to the CDC, which has had 7 months to spin up all sorts of defenses (vaccine work, stockpiling supplies, building facilities, training HCW, etc.), but has failed on all counts.
Glaxo offered the CDC to spin up their vaccine work in May, if I recall, but was told it was not needed...until the CDC changed their mind in August. Criminal negligence!
