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

lol we already had shitty bureaucracies specifically for this

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.
