  • Trump administration should be ready for global infectious disease outbreaks from day one, panel say

    No matter how hard the Trump administration will try to focus solely on domestic issues to “make America great again,” Bill Steiger said last week at an event on pandemic preparedness at Georgetown University, a public health issue of international importance will arise that will demand the U.S. government’s attention. And investing in building up global health security, both at home and abroad, Steiger said on the panel on pandemic preparedness, is very much an “America first” agenda, not only to protect America’s health but to protect America’s economy.
