Researchers believe the next pandemic is coming soon, and it's only a plane ride away. A pandemic is a disease that spreads over an entrie country or the world. Studies have found that when the next pandemic comes to America we will not be prepared because funds that fight these outbreaks have been cut drastically. It is thought that the next pandemic will come from china, and it is the deadly H7N9 flu that oringinated in China. With over 60 nonstop flights between China and the United States, it is a bigger threat then we thought. I think our country should stop cutting the funds of companies or organizations that are trying to help us in the long run. If this does actually happen is will be extremely effective, espcially if we don't take the proper steps to prepare.

Do you think the United States should start funding for the next pandemic? Why?
If/when the next pandemic hits how much do you think it will effect the United States?

Good job Anna!
Logically, yes. Especially if they know it's coming. It would be different if it took us by surprise. The funds should continue.
If they do nothing to stop it, it will affect us terribly.
Yes I think that the United States should start funding for the nex pandemic because that would be a good idea just to be prepared for the worst and have money for it if it did end up happening. If a pandemic would come to the United States I think that it definatly would effect us in one way or another because it would make people sick.
I bet they already have we just don't know it yet. But yes I do think we should start funding because it could also be used for something else! I think that it will have the least effect on us because we have the best docotors that will work non-stop to figure out that pandemic.
That could be a possibility, I'm sure we don't know a lot about what goes on in the government half the time. I think it will still effect us, maybe not a whole lot, but definetly enough to leave an impact.
Yes,because we could find all the cures for the pandemics that are going to come in the future.It would really affect the US, because we don't know the cure for this pandemic.
If it would help to start funding for the next pandemic then I think the government should definately start to fund for it. If the pandemic does hit the United States then I think it could cause a lot of damage and threaten many lives.
Of course I think that the United States should start funding for the next pandemic because it would be nice to be prepared so less people got a disease. I think if the next pandemic hits it will cause a great number of deaths to arise.
I think it would be a great idea for the US to start funding once again for the pandemic because I would want to always be prepared for what could happen. If the funding didn't happen soon, the next pandemic could do colossol damage to the whole country. If the next pandemic hits, it'll effect the US tremendously.
I agree that our government should begin funding this program again. One of these days a big pandemic is going to hit, and it we are not prepared for it thenit could be detrimental.
