US was more prepared for pandemic than any other country, Johns Hopkins study found

By Gregg Re | Fox News

The United States was ranked the best-prepared country in the world to handle a pandemic in late 2019 by the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security (JHCHS) -- an assessment seemingly at odds with claims by Democrats that the Trump administration left the country vulnerable to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

The Global Health Security Index was was "developed with guidance from an international panel of experts from 13 countries, with research by the Economist Intelligence Unit" from 2018 to 2019, The Washington Post reported last year. "More than 100 researchers spent a year collecting and validating publicly available data.”

At the same time, the paper noted that the U.S. score was still not perfect, and that "factors driving down the U.S. score include the risks of social unrest and terrorism, and low public confidence in government."

U.S. rated No. 1 in the world for disaster readiness by Global Health Security Index
Johns Hopkins University source rates 195 nations

    Don’t doubt that America is ready for the challenges ahead. The nation is, actually rated No. 1 in terms of disaster readiness, according to the Global Health Security Index, compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. tops the list of 195 countries.

    “Despite claims by the mainstream media and the Democratic Party that the United States was ‘ill-prepared’ to handle the coronavirus pandemic and that actions by Trump administration made us vulnerable, the United States was actually ranked the best-prepared country in the world to handle a pandemic in a study by Nuclear Threat Initiative and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security published in late 2019,” wrote Matt Margolis, a columnist for PJ Media.

    The U.S. has a Global Health Security Index score that was 83.5 out of a possible 100 — the highest ranking in the analysis. Britain placed second with a score of 77.9, Netherlands third at 75.6., Australia fourth at 75.5 and Canada fifth at 75.3.

The Rats will just say that it's due to Obama, not Trump.

The Rats will just say that it's due to Obama, not Trump.

And most of the media will be fully on that page. Even some of so-called "right wing" media.

The media stats don't differentiate the kind of click they get.

If it bleeds, it leads. The interview with the person that yells fire in a theater, is widely read, but nobody reads the interview with the lady trampled to death in the stampede.

The media will turn it into "freedom of speech,"  and even "well she deserved to die"
