        Because the only bureaucracies that the government can justify creating in the wake of this would probably involve either a) actually impactful social programs or b) blatant tyranny, like even more blatant

        It feels like a failure of cooperation rather than an exterior threat so more govt isnt the answer

        we need a new covid secretary for the department of covid which has the incentive that if covid ever goes away it will be disbanded

        seriously for a second I think it's in part that there literally was not an agency that had full ownership of the "prevent foreign terrorism in the united states" problem whereas nominally if you had a "department of stopping pandemics" that is just already the CDC

        wasn't there talk of creating a new, CDC-like apparatus but with more power in the US?

        they've opted for a decentralized power structure rather than a centralized agency this time around

        We had the FBI and still got the ATF and DHS. We had the SEC and got the CPB or whatever it's called. We have the CDC getting paid to study violence with guns. No professional bureaucrat let's a little thing like redundancy stop him from establishing a new bureau.
