>The only actually serious one on that list

Based on what? The final body count?

This isn't a weather forecast, people and ressources flew towards making sure these emergencies didn't spiral into global pandemics.

You are falling face first into the preparedness paradox.

How much effort was thrown at each one in dollars or hours? Can you fill in that context?

The flu kills 300-500k every year, and did not make the list, while absolute bullshit like Zika and Monkey pox did.

Death by infected count, and level of infectious ess both matter. Flue kills more, but its also a lower death per infected count. This is why comparing COVID to flu was a statistic only pursued by those with a wilful misunderstanding.

Flu kills mostly babies and elders, ebola kills at any age. Hence the logistical and cultural and societal impact are nothing alike.
