    As high throughput systems come online this week, testing capacity will substantially increase nationwide. Any limitations will be the testing supply chain (reagents, swabs, sites, etc) - not platforms for conducting testing.

    My new book on , what went wrong and how we can prevent the next pandemic, is available for pre-order. I look at the systemic woes that exacerbated the crisis, and how we must view public health preparedness through the lens of national security.
