And so absolutely, of course, there's going to be another, there's going to be another pandemic.
00:03
The only question is, how long does it take us?
00:05
We know we're going to have another one. We just don't know what it will be.
00:08
So hopefully, as a result of what we all experienced in 2020, people have a greater
00:12
responsibility and a greater understanding of public health and the important work that
00:15
public health workers do every day.
00:17
A pandemic is always a possibility. And I think all of us have
00:21
our ears up a little bit, whether it's bird flu or the next thing that could be on the horizon.
00:25
But I think, you know, what the last pandemic showed quite clearly,
00:29
it took every inequity in our society and threw it into a pressure cooker.
00:33
And it really put into stark relief how fragile our public health system is.
00:39
And my hope is that going forward, we take the lessons from that and we make sure we
00:44
have better public health infrastructure in our country.
00:46
Humans are inherently social creatures. We want to be around each other.
00:48
We want to be breathing each other's air.
00:50
We want to be sharing viruses and germs and bacteria all over the place.
00:54
It's inevitable we will have another pandemic.
00:56
And I think we've learned very few lessons from our time in COVID.
00:59
And so the only question to me is not whether there will be another pandemic,
01:03
but how long it will be until another pandemic starts.
