(from The Premonition: A Pandemic Story by Michael Lewis)
". . . I am still having issues in VA with leaders avoiding the use of the term pandemic and then not wanting to implement key portions of the VA pandemic plan because this is not a pandemic," he wrote. "They will not say that word or use that word . . . They expect to see the term pandemic used by CDC and WHO. CDC continues to say this is not a pandemic . . . My response is that a pandemic is not defined by what is happening in the US - it is defined by what is happening across the world (pan=all, demic=people). . . I know that this is not CDC's intent but it is creating problems for bureaucrats who suffer from malignant obedience." . . . He and Richard and others had spent years creating and selling the ideas that would, if quickly seized upon, prevent a lot of Americans from dying. Those ideas were useful, and yet no one in authority seemed willing to use them. "We were going nuts," said Carter. . . "
