Guarding Against Pandemics (GAP) advocates for public investments to prevent the next pandemic. COVID-19 has killed over 600,000 Americans and cost this country $16 trillion dollars, and experts say that the next pandemic could be right around the corner. GAP’s one and only goal is to ensure we are better prepared so this never happens again.
While there has been massive public investment in responding to COVID-19, and rightly so, there has been almost no public investment targeted at protecting us from the next pandemic. COVID-19 took so many lives and cost so much money because we did not prepare for it. And while it is critical that we respond to this current pandemic, we must also prepare for the next one.
Please give what you can to keep us safe from the next pandemic.
