Rice was part of the pandemic response team during her time in the Obama White House, and she described the nature of such health crises on the show Monday: “It’s hard to predict exactly when they’ll come, but we know they will come — and they’ve come repeatedly,” from the 1918 flu outbreak to the 2009 swine flu pandemic.
Rice even recalled sitting down with the incoming Trump cabinet to run through a tabletop exercise that, she said, turned out to be particularly prescient. “It was of a novel SARS-like virus emerging from China,” Rice said. “And all of that seemed to be for naught, because a couple of years into office, President Trump dismantled the office that I set up on global health security; they trashed that playbook or stuck it in some drawer, some shelf and never pulled it out.
