I can't dig on this right now (at work) but I just heard the white house muppet in her press briefing say the White House is working to establish an Office of Pandemic Preparedness. I'm sure there will be sauce in a little while.

Scary part is she dropped that nonchalantly, and right before turning the briefing over to Mayorkis. Seems like what they do with a Friday afternoon drop - bury the stuff that could be big underneath something else when something big is already going on.

Why would they be working to set up a pandemic preparedness office in the White House now? What is coming, and how soon?
