Are we prepared for Disease X? (link, may be paywalled), excerpts:

Journal News said:

Hypothetical Disease X pandemic preparedness talks among world leaders recently underscored key gaps in New York’s efforts to avoid repeating deadly mistakes the state made in handling COVID-19.

World leaders gathered in Switzerland last week for the World Economic Forum discussed Disease X, reigniting global interest in pandemic preventive measures that had waned after officials declared the COVID- 19 pandemic emergency over last spring.

Many of the tactics deployed to contain COVID-19 remain in the state’s pandemic playbook, ranging from travel bans and medical supply stockpiling to closing down businesses and schools. There are also guidelines related to everything from establishing overflow sites for treating the ill, such as the Naval hospital ship that arrived in New York City, to imposing mask mandates and “micro-cluster” restrictions.

It is obvious that these orders were not generated in a chaotic rush. Excerpt for Executive Order 202.8:

New York Executive Order 202.8 said:

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 29-a of Article 2-B of the Executive Law to issue any directive during a disaster emergency necessary to cope with the disaster, I hereby issue the following directives for the period from the date of Executive Order through April 19,

2020:

• The provisions of Executive Order 202.6 are hereby modified to read as follows: Effective on March 22 at 8 p.m.: All businesses and not-for-profit entities in the state shall utilize, to the maximum extent possible, any telecommuting or work from home procedures that they can safely utilize. Each employer shall reduce the in-person workforce at any work locations by 100% no later than March 22 at 8 p.m. Any essential business or entity providing essential services or functions shall not be subject to the in-person restrictions. An entity providing essential services or functions whether to an essential business or a non-essential business shall not be subjected to the in-person work restriction, but may operate at the level necessary to provide such service or function. Any business violating the above order shall be subject to enforcement as if this were a violation ofan order pursuant to section 12 of the Public Health Law.

• There shall be no enforcement of either an eviction of any tenant residential or commercial, or a foreclosure of any residential or commercial property for a period of ninety days.

These are detailed provisions that did not drop out of the sky.

Further, whenever the "World Economic Forum" is involved, you know there is trouble. They think they know better than us peasants, and want to be in control. They think they've earned it. Are they already spoiling for another lockdown?
