Medical experts would best prepare for a potential pandemic by investing in research to develop vaccines and improve ways to combat diseases. This would involve funding research institutions and organizations, supporting scientists and researchers in their efforts to study and understand emerging infectious diseases, and actively working towards the development and distribution of effective vaccines and treatments. While encouraging physical activity, opening substance abuse clinics, and increasing budgets for organizations like SAMHSA may address other important health issues, they may not provide the most direct and effective response to combating a potential pandemic.
