The purpose of this two-hour, 13-minute Senate roundtable is to examine the response to pandemics like the 2019 novel coronavirus and ask what more the federal government could be doing to combat the outbreak of global infectious diseases. Witnesses discuss if the government has clear strategies and plans to combat these global diseases and pandemics, what lessons have been learned from previous responses, and if those issues have been addressed and resolved.
