In the event of a 21st-century plague are the western nations prepared?
user
Given the unpredictable and rapidly changing nature of the 21st century, it is impossible to definitively say whether or not western nations are prepared for a potential plague. Despite some preparedness efforts in the public and private sectors, there is still a dearth of knowledge and resources available to respond effectively should a severe pandemic occur. In addition, underlying trust issues between various governmental bodies has weakened their collective ability to respond promptly and efficiently if such an emergency were to arise. Thus more must be done in terms of educational outreach, resource development, and interagency cooperation so that all countries can be better prepared for any sudden crisis.

With advances in medicine and an increased focus on global health, the western nations are more prepared than ever before to face a 21st-century plague. In recent years there has been an emphasis on developing treatments and vaccinations for potential pandemics as well as training healthcare workers in advance of any potential outbreaks. Governments have also set up early warning systems to rapidly detect any signs of disease outbreaks and have put policies into place for controlling the spread of infectious diseases.
