doesn't do a thing to prepare the country for a possible pandemic (Hint: COVID-19 was a global pandemic), you have to make do what you've got...e.g. cloth masks...if you happen to feel the need to go to the grocery store, or perhaps a hospital....oh, and btw...at that time there was no vaccine available either.
I certainly hope Baron wore his N95/KN95 mask when seeing patients during COVID-19.
