After U.S. Failures On Covid, Congress Is Working To Prepare America To Fight The Next Pandemic-STAT

Congress, in a rare show of bipartisanship, is gearing up to try to prevent the next pandemic. Already, a duo of powerful senators has pledged, publicly, to work together on legislation that will “make sure nothing like [Covid-19] ever happens again,” as the influential Democratic Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.) put it. They will work, too, to diagnose the problems and important lessons to be learned from Covid-19. There are several potential ways they could seek to pass a future bill, including attaching it to a major infrastructure package President Biden is planning to push this year. STAT, 03/25/2021
