    Claim :

    We have treatments. We have lots of testing capability. In that context, yes. I mean, obviously we're looking at the flu. We're looking at and worried about we might see with COVID or RSV.

    Disposition : False
    Findings :

    ... [A]n outbreak caused by one of these highly drug- and antibody-resistant variants could be much worse due to many world governments performing far less testing and reduced public health surveillance compared to 2020 and 2021. ... .
