No really!
Surely you're not implying that instead of listening to what her guests were actually saying she was devoting her (limited) brain power to thinking about what she would say next?
I'm shocked I tell ya.

Josh Glancy in The Times. Many of the 28 witnesses to come forward say that Farage's behaviour was especially memorable because it was distinct and unusual by 1977-81 standards. The contemporary letter about the staffroom discussion of Farage shows that too

Nigel Farage has cash in the bag. It’s his teenage self he has to beat
The Reform UK leader is celebrating a record £9m donation and another Tory defection. But will racism allegations from his school days scare off unsure voters?

"just", ok, that's risible (and even if you "just" had international cooperation you still could not "halt" a pandemic.)
I can only conclude that you don't know what a pandemic is or what the word "halt" means in this risk management context.

The statement they make is 100% true.
By definition you cannot "halt" a pandemic. If you could it wouldn't be a pandemic. To become a "pandemic" a disease has to be un haltable.
There was literally zero possibility of halting Covid in March 2020, however many resources you threw at it.

The statement made is the same as saying:
"it will not be possible to reduce the risk of aircraft accidents to zero, and it would be a waste of resources to attempt to do so".
That doesn't mean that you do nothing. You still try to reduce the risk. It just acknowledges zero risk isn't possible.

It doesn't say do nothing!
It simply observes that halting a pandemic is not viable and spending resources trying to do so would be a waste of said resources.
It doesn't mean you don't spend resources preparing and responding. Read the rest of the bullet points ffs!

One of the most bizarre things about this is that you have to pay at all to get into a "National Park". Surely it's owned by the nation and thus by definition the people?
Can you imagine the idea of paying to get into the Lake District?
