One thought on “5 years since COVID was declared a pandemic, we’re still poorly prepared for the next one”

1. It’s true that five years after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic, many countries and systems are still grappling with the lessons learned and the necessary preparations for future health crises. The pandemic highlighted significant gaps in public health infrastructure, emergency response, and global cooperation.

   While some advancements have been made in vaccine development and healthcare accessibility, we still face challenges such as supply chain vulnerabilities, misinformation, and inequities in healthcare access.

   To better prepare for the next pandemic, we need to invest in robust public health systems, enhance global surveillance for emerging diseases, and promote education and awareness to combat misinformation. It’s crucial for governments and organizations to collaborate on a global scale to share resources and information. By addressing these issues now, we can strengthen our resilience against future health challenges.
