In reply to the discussion: HERE IS THE ENTIRE PANDEMIC PLAYBOOK LEFT BY OBAMA: [View all]IcyPeas
(21,747 posts)73. Politico has this article about the Playbook:
The NSC devised the guide officially called the Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents, but known colloquially as the pandemic playbook across 2016. The project was driven by career civil servants as well as political appointees, aware that global leaders had initially fumbled their response to the 2014-2015 spread of Ebola and wanting to be sure that the next response to an epidemic was better handled.
...The document was originally overseen by Beth Cameron, a former civil servant who led the directorate before leaving the White House in March 2017. Cameron confirmed to POLITICO that the directorate created a playbook for NSC staff intended to help officials confront a range of potential biological threats.

Trump's name would also have to appear several times on each page, as well as the title.

See, there you go, it doesn't say SARS-CoV-19 anywhere in it. So clearly useless, and incompetent.

This playbook should be in the presidential hall of fame next to George W. Bush's Presidential Daily
