The US isn’t ready for another Ebola outbreak




"On the home front, health experts have long said the US is underprepared for a pandemic. But right now the situation looks even more precarious.

Just one day after DRC’s Ebola outbreak was declared, the head of global health security on the White House’s National Security Council, Rear Adm. Tim Ziemer, left the Trump administration amid a reorganization by national security adviser John Bolton, the Huffington Post reported this week.

The health security team Ziemer was leading has also been dismantled. That means the top White House official who would lead a pandemic response, along with his team, are gone.
