But that would have just needlessly caused a panic, right?

that’s why you prepare it all up front before an outbreak. Masks, additional medical supplies stashed in say those KC caves. How are we going to ramp up a test? Who gets tested, quarantined? When do you stop travel? What’s the criteria?
No reason for us to panic. The government and medical professionals are just preparing for the next one. There is always going to be a next one so the supplies will not go bad like hoarding WWII cheese. Work with other countries to share information on what the strain is and how far it’s spread. Preparation isn’t rocket science nor should it be political.
