With the onset of a pandemic. The medical community is at the forefront. Money is moving into the government agency that will be tackling the problem (Department of Health & Human Services). The additional budget they are receiving makes them the doll at the ball. But before Coroanavirus, DHS already is the biggest of them all. I am sure looking at the budgets of HHS and SSA, DoD only wishes that had that kind of money.
HHS is 2x of DoD's budget
HHS is 58x the budget of NASA
And due to the unfolding events, DHS will extend its lead.
Statistica has a nice graph showing 2021 budgets per department.
