I guess give the clear signs from Covidiots (in government or the general public) then the answer will be yes - we most likely will not do enough to contain the next virus outbreak.

	I couldn't make your link work but did find the clip. Perhaps this link will work. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/health-55508250 I think Covid 19 may well prove to be our practice run. Some of the pandemics in the past have been slate wipers. Look at the Black Death in the 14th Century. It wiped out 50% of Europe. That's what we should be ready for.
	Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts.
