Eric Hargan, US Acting Deputy Secretaryof Health & Human Services:
"Never before have we been as overdue but under-prepared for a recurring natural disaster as we are now for a pandemic,"
"a pop here, then there, then several, and soon eruptions all over" . ](his description of a pandemic outbreak)

"Some people may think that our preparation is a waste and that we are being alarmist,"
"In reply, I can only say that these people are right - until they're wrong. And the consequences of them being wrong are greater than the consequences of us being wrong."
