“It turns out that would-be authoritarians don’t need to staff their regimes w ideological true believers, offer extreme enticements or impose draconian punishments in order to make successful power grabs. They just need to figure out how to target their ideal labor pool: the frustrated & mediocre.”
Sobering estimates out from CDC. This was not inevitable.

Travel bans and conflict have disrupted supply chains in the Democratic Republic of Congo, leaving health workers without tests and protective gear needed to contain the Ebola outbreak.

Pandemic preparedness cannot wait.
